May 8th Bargaining Team Report

May 8th Report

On Monday, May 8, the CUPE 3903 Bargaining team and some staff members met.

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

The Bargaining Team, following the discussions had by the Bargaining Research Committee, continued reviewing the bargaining surveys. A meeting to finalize the surveys was set for May 16.

The Bargaining Team also began to solidify a proposed bargaining timeline to present to the membership. With a view to minimum disruption for students, the Bargaining Team is currently intending to finish bargaining by the end of the summer, pending membership approval.

Next Steps

Our next meetings are:
