Members,
The bargaining committees from USW Local 5890 & 6673, along with Staff Representative’s Patrick Veinot, Jeff Kallichuk and researcher Troy Lundblad from the National Office, met in Regina on December 10th, 11th, 12th with the Company. The original intent was to bargain on the 13th as well but, the company’s lead negotiator had to fly back to the U.S.
On Tuesday, 6673 was able to get some much-needed waiver language and we were able to finalize our common monetary package. On the morning of the 11th the company gave us an updated financial presentation and shortly after that we exchanged our monetary packages.
There were 4 items signed off on Thursday but we are very far apart on the memberships main issues.
Your solidarity is important in everything we do. We would like to remind the memberships that these bargaining updates come directly from your bargaining committees. Our next scheduled bargaining dates are January 20th to the 24th in Regina. We expect the company to be prepared to bargain all week!
Support Your Bargaining Committee!
Remember
Solidarity Works!
Solidarity Forever!
