Bargaining Team Report-back

On Monday, May 1, the CUPE 3903 Bargaining team met.

The meeting was still largely informal, and no decisions regarding bargaining were taken.

The bargaining team continued discussions from our previous meeting. Attention was paid to a potential bargaining timeline that is currently in discussion at the Stewards’ Council and Executive Committee, and what that would mean for the work of the bargaining team.

The Bargaining Team also began to solidify its own internal processes to ensure that work is fairly distributed amongst the team, and to ensure that bargaining team meetings run efficiently.

Our next meetings are:

Bargaining Team Meeting, May 16, 7:00-9:00 p.m.
