On April 29, 2013 the GTAA Bargaining Committee met
with the employer to continue negotiations.
This is the first time both parties have met since
exchanging language proposals at the end of March. During this period of time
the bargaining committee have reviewed the employer’s proposal in detail in
preparation for the upcoming negotiations.
During the meeting several components were
discussed:
-
Both sides asked for clarification on specific
items in their respective proposals
-
Identified common ground in both
proposals
-
Established timelines to exchange monetary proposals
-
Established subcommittees to handle more complex areas of concern
The bargaining committee will be scrutinizing key
proposals in preparation for the next scheduled meeting on May 9, 2013. There
are eight further dates scheduled to ensure timelines are met.
Negotiations are a sensitive time for the
membership and rumours can abound. Should you have any questions or concerns
please contact a bargaining committee member for up to date information; in
short, "Go to the source!"
