While contract talks have been productive, CAW and Jazz have come to a deadlock. Unfortunately, Jazz is refusing to address many of the members' requests, and is instead demanding concessions.
The bargaining committee cannot agree on a new collective agreement without some of the membership's top issues being addressed.
Talks between the two parties will continue July 23rd in Toronto.
In the interim, there will be system-wide memberships meetings to review our progress and to discuss the issues that have caused this unfortunate impasse.
Membership Dates are as follows:
-
Toronto – July 09: 1800-1900, 2000-2100
-
Halifax – July 10: 1330-1500, 1545-1700
-
Montreal – July 11: 1800-1900, 1900-2000
-
London – July 13: 1400-1500, 1515-1615, 1845-1945
-
Calgary – July 20: 1530-1700, 1800-1930
-
Vancouver – July 21: 1700-1800, 1900-2000
