Your union Bargaining Team has been working with the Employer diligently over the past several weeks to finalize the language for a tentative agreement that ensures the spirit and intent of the agreed upon items is captured.
This process has taken longer than anticipated and, as a result, ratification vote meetings for members will now likely occur in September.
Once the tentative agreement is ratified by both parties, the articles of the new collective agreement will come into force.
We encourage you to speak to a member of your bargaining team or your RVP if you have any questions or concerns. Please keep an eye on the UNW website and emails for the Ratification vote schedule which we hope to finalize over the next few weeks.
Thank you for your patience and continuing support.
In solidarity,
YOUR BARGAINING TEAM
