Dear Members,
We met with the employer on September 17, 18, and 23. We signed off on many of the remaining non-monetary items and have begun bargaining monetary issues, including wages, benefits, and other items with a cost. The September 22 bargaining date was set aside to accommodate the launch of Banff Centre’s Braids of Reconciliation Framework.
At this stage, the committee and the employer remain far apart on several important monetary issues.
We return to the table on October 6. We will continue bargaining in good faith toward a fair collective agreement that reflects your priorities on compensation, benefits, and working conditions. We will send another update following that session.
If you have questions or feedback, contact us at info@cupelocal4318.ca.
In solidarity,
Your Bargaining Committee
Fayiaz Chunara, Rylan Barlow, Matthew Zarb, and Jennifer Chiasson.
