We look forward to continuing negotiations during our next scheduled bargaining dates, the week of June 22.
One full day during that week has been set aside specifically to focus on discussions with the facilitators. As a reminder, the parties previously agreed to extend the conciliation period until June 26, 2026.
We continue to wait for a hearing date from the CIRB regarding the Maintenance of Activities application, which will decide your right to strike.
The bargaining committee appreciates your continued support and patience. We will provide further updates as more information becomes available.
Finally, a reminder that the bargaining process remains confidential on both sides. Committee members cannot discuss specific details of the negotiations
