Thank you to everyone who participated in the information sessions on March 19, 2025. The turn out was amazing! Being armed with the facts strengthens our solidarity. The economic status update we presented to the employer on March 15, 2025 is available from the Committee upon request or you can arrange to view the presentation through the Senior Steward at the Union’s office on site.
Many of you again shared your concerns with the Committee regarding the employer’s communication of March 17, 2025. While we share your concerns with this approach to collective bargaining, it remains our view that the employer’s communications are a direct response to the solidarity and resolve of the membership.  Read Bulletin here…

Many of you have shared your concerns with the Committee regarding the employer’s communication of February 21, 2025. In our view, the employer’s communication is a direct response to our solidarity and the strong mandate the membership delivered on February 12, 2025.
While some reaction is normal and expected following a strike vote, the suggestion that the Union is misleading the membership or has misrepresented the process is preposterous and a new low for this employer. This is an effort to erode your solidarity and divide the membership. If you have any questions, just ask a Bargaining Committee member.  Read Bulletin here…

Our bargaining proposals are based upon the demands and priorities set by the membership in the bargaining survey and focus on critically important topics including sub-contracting, technological change, electronic surveillance and fair compensation that is responsive to economic realities. The employer seeks to alter work schedules, skill and shift premiums, and vacation ratios in a manner that will significantly impact the quality of your work life balance and overall compensation.
As we enter the monetary phase of bargaining, it is important that we send a clear message that the membership is behind their Negotiations Committee and our demands. Accordingly, your Committee has made the decision to seek a strike mandate from the membership. Read Bulletin here…
