Thank you everyone for your continued professionalism throughout this process. Please continue to uphold our collective agreement.

Bargaining Update

We met with the company this week and the best way to describe how we feel at the end of the week is frustrated. The company’s actions with regards to the team bid on Friday overshadowed any potential progress we should have made on our monetary issues.

On November 6th the company issued a bid package to all our members which we believe directly contravenes the collective agreement. Our valuable bargaining time was side-tracked by hours of discussing the company’s interpretation of Article 6.04 and their intentions to alter the bid process. The company feels that they can unilaterally alter the past practice of the team bidding and unilaterally balance team members because of a perceived skills imbalance. We have repeatedly asserted our position that historically we have dealt with this issue through the usage of Article 6.10, and not Article 6.04 which means that your vacation and midnight allotment are not voided or adjusted to fit your new team.

To be clear the bargaining committee has NOT agreed to any changes in the complete bidding process.
