Ornge: bargaining proposal meetings to resume

Ornge: bargaining proposal meetings to resume

April 24, 2020 at 4:00 PM

  

Unifor Local 2002 had scheduled bargaining proposal base-meetings for Ornge members that were to take place from March 9 to April 1. As a result of COVID-19, we were required to postpone these meetings until we could determine the best solution to bring members together and participate. We were able to complete meetings for Peterborough CCLA, Ottawa and Ottawa CCLA, London, GTA CCLA and Toronto Island. Those locations which were not completed have now been rescheduled as a series of video conferences which will begin next month.

During these video proposal sessions, your bargaining committee will be discussing the results from the membership bargaining surveys which closed back in March, 2020, as well as the bargaining process.

The following is the schedule for the remaining bases. Only those members who work in the specific bases will be invited to participate.

A link and additional information will be emailed to you prior to your specific base session.

In order for us to initiate the Unifor-Ornge collective bargaining process, we must complete these proposal sessions for the remaining bases. Upon conclusion, your Unifor bargaining committee will review and establish the monetary and non-monetary proposals prior to meeting the company on June 15, 2020. The Ornge collective agreement expires on July 31, 2020.
