Dear Valued Member:
Our collective agreement expires March 31, 2023. We have been preparing for the past year and are READY to bargain on your behalf.
On January 23, 2023, we sent the required formal notice to the employer of our intent to negotiate revisions to our collective bargaining agreement. We subsequently provided a selection of dates in March for the employer to choose for this process to begin. The employer did not respond. When we reminded them of our request, they responded to say they were not yet prepared for bargaining and would get back to us. We are still waiting to hear from them.
We are disappointed that the employer is not prepared to come to the table right now, but we will continue to pressure the employer to come to the bargaining table in a timely manner.
