Tentative agreement reached!


Your Bargaining Committee is pleased to report we have reached a tentative agreement! The union and the employer bargained hard for three days and reached a settlement on Friday, May 26th.

There are a number of improvements in this renewal agreement, and most importantly, the focus is on a substantive wage increase. Additionally, all six bargaining units under the three collective agreements will now share one common wage grid.

Full details will be provided shortly and membership meetings, with your Bargaining Committee, will be scheduled to review the package and answer questions. Ratification voting will take place, online, following the meetings. Date and time to be announced soon.
