New updates

Good day to everyone who is reading and sharing the information.

Please pass it around and I will keep the info coming as time and confirmation of the info occurs.

Up this week is med/arbs at MHCC, and the health and safety meeting as well.

Bargaining is fast approaching and more info is coming up this week. I will post what I can this weekend after the meeting sessions occur. Hopefully, firm time lines will be forthcoming so the members know what dates to watch for.

Next week is proving to be a transition week as the local executive has, what will most likely be, the final ERC meetings before bargaining begins.

Please support your issues by supporting the bargaining process. Support includes:
  • letting the employer know we want to negotiate a better collective agreement
  • aiming for a dignified and fair contract
  • sticking up for members who are being pressed for information by supervisors
  • calming fears and showing strength in numbers
  • giving a strong mandate to the bargaining teams when asked
  • not buying into the employer wanting us to settle for nothing!!!

In solidarity, Emidio.
