On October 3, 2018, the Union filed for the appointment of a Mediation Officer, pursuant to Section 74(1) of the Labour Relations Code.
Your Negotiations Committee resumed direct bargaining with the Company on October 16 – 18, 2018, as previously scheduled, in our continued effort to narrow the issues in disputes between the parties, prior to commencing mediation. Regrettable, we were unable to reach a Tentative Agreement that would satisfy the Membership in areas that you told us were of critical importance to resolve.
