Since our last update on May 17, 2024, your Union bargaining committee (Amy Elgie and Tuan Pham) met on May 24, 2024 with BCGEU staff representative, Jennifer Arnold, to start preparations for this round of bargaining with CBCBSS. We carefully reviewed your bargaining surveys and the associated collective agreement articles to identify your bargaining priorities.

We will meet again next week on June 11, 2024 to start drafting Union bargaining proposals. If you have not already submitted a survey or have more information to include, there is still opportunity to provide your feedback to the bargaining committee. Thank you for your valuable input here!
 
We have also set up a Zoom meeting for next Monday June 10, 2024 at 5:15pm for you to meet the bargaining committee, ask any questions about the bargaining process, and share your bargaining priorities with the committee. Here is the link, meeting ID and passcode:
