The second and partial third week of negotiations has wrapped up at the Delta Hotel (Grand Villa), Burnaby. Bargaining took place from March 15^th to 18^th and again on March 21^st. At the end of the week, monetary proposals were exchanged. Initial discussions continued regarding these proposals and continued through Monday and, while we are significantly apart, we continue to work at narrowing the gap between the Union and employer.

Next week is an important week for these discussions. We are scheduled from Tuesday to Thursday, (March 29^th to 31^st). We will continue to focus on the monetary proposals and some remaining non-monetary items still on the table. Please stay tuned; your support is appreciated.
