The current Unifor/Ornge collective bargaining agreement will expire on July 31, 2023. In preparation for the expiry of the contract, your Unifor Bargaining Committee has begun the survey and proposal development process with the expectation to begin negotiating a new contract in the coming months.
Your Unifor committee has scheduled a series of proposal meetings that will be conducted via ZOOM. This will give all Ornge members an opportunity to participate and provide feedback to the Bargaining Committee on what should be negotiated in the next contract. We encourage all Ornge members to participate and be part of the bargaining process.
The full ZOOM schedule can be found below. ZOOM meeting details will be sent to members' personal email addresses the week of March 20th.
In Solidarity,
Your Unifor-Ornge Bargaining Committee
Mark Etherington, Chairperson
Keith Simons, Northern Bases
Geoffrey Brown, Southern Bases
Denise Cochrane, Assistant to the Local President
David Cayer, Unifor National Representative
Kelly-Anne Orr, Assistant to the National Officers
