Just for your info

I know that the employer has put a memo in your files indicating that they are available to bargain everyday next week. I'm not really sure how they plan on doing that.  Monday is a holiday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week the employers bargaining team will be at the labour board, dealing with a termination  grievance. So the only day that they are really available, is possibly Friday. Unless they plan an cancelling the Labour board dates. It just doesn't make any sense to offer dates that you wont be able to make.

The results are in

The results of the ratification vote are as follows,

The current tentative package has been rejected, by the majority.

The voter turn out was over 85%

I want to thank everyone for attending the ratification vote and showing support for the team, ultimately it was the members that decided their own fate that's what  a union is all about.

Please stay tuned for follow up information.

Please respect the vote of the majority. This is a true representation of what the members want.

WE HAVE A TENTATIVE DEAL

We have a tentative deal. so what

needs to happen  is this everyone

needs to make an effort to attend

the meetings on May 13. On that day

at the meeting you will receive  a

document to consider ask questions

at this time if you have them. The

following day Thursday May the 14

2009 voting will take place at the

Fonthill office. Again if you have

questions ask them prior to voting on
