CLBC Negotiations Continue

Since we last updated you in mid-March, BCGEU and CLBC have held three more days of negotiations, from March 31^st to April 2^nd. Our discussions focussed on substantive non-monetary proposals. We expect our next bargaining sessions on April 28^th to 30^th to maintain this non-monetary focus. As we shared previously, monetary negotiations will begin after the non-monetary proposals have been dealt with.

Our objective remains to reach a tentative agreement that makes gains in the areas you prioritized-including wage increases retroactive to 2025-as soon as we can, while still being thorough and thoughtful in our approach.

Beyond the upcoming April 28^th to 30^th bargaining dates, additional negotiations are scheduled for May 7^th, 8^th, and 11^th, and June 1^st to 3^rd, 9^th, and 10^th.

We will provide a further update in early May. In the meantime, please reach out to an elected member of your bargaining committee if you have any questions or concerns.

In solidarity,

Nancy Bell, Bargaining Committee Chairperson
Shannon Moyle, Bargaining Committee Member
Victoria Gray, Bargaining Committee Member
Lil Tugwell, Bargaining Committee Member
Ryan Stewart, Staff Representative, Negotiations Department
