Your bargaining committee for VSOCC began negotiations with the employer on November 29^th and continued for a second day on November 30, 2023. Our first scheduled day on November 28^th was postponed due to staff illness.

The parties exchanged their complete packages of non-monetary proposals and have reached agreement on 16 of them. Approximately 14 non-monetary proposals are outstanding. Near the end of the day on November 30^th, the parties also exchanged their monetary proposal packages. Monetary negotiations will begin after the parties have reached agreement or impasse on all non‑monetary proposals.

We resume bargaining on January 15, 2024, and have an additional bargaining date set for January 17^th. We will keep you informed as negotiations progress.
