Bargaining has had a slow start. We prepared for negotiations, reviewed surveys and finalized proposals. Due to scheduling challenges, we finally met with the Employer virtually to exchange proposals on June 22^nd. We had a positive first meeting and we meet with them again on August 12^th. We hope to continue to schedule more regular meetings as summer ends and as the Employer gets used to meeting with us online.

We are looking forward to having more in-depth discussion next week and will provide you with more regular updates as we move forward in this process.

Feel free to share this email with a co-worker that we might have missed.

To help ensure you receive a copy of future updates, please provide a personal email address to the BCGEU at https://my.bcgeu.ca/signup. If we already have an email address on file for you and you wish to edit or update any of your existing contact information, you can use the same form.

Thank you for your patience and ongoing support.

In solidarity,

Your bargaining committee:

Jan Brewer - Armstrong/Vernon
