In this round, we have been able to push the Company to provide specific language much sooner than previous rounds of bargaining. But, sadly, their proposals are still concessionary.

December 10, 2021 - Thursday, the final day of our Local Union Delegated Meeting, began with special guest speaker Tamara Ramusovic, a partner with the law firm Moore Edgar Lyster. She provided Delegates with an in-depth presentation regarding the legal requirement of employers to ensure a psychologically-safe work environment and how the Union can ensure that these requirements are enforced. With the intensifying pressures members are facing at work, the presentation contained lots of information Delegates will be able to use back on the job.

December 9, 2021 - Our Local Union Delegated Meeting continued on Wednesday in Vancouver.

The day started with some opening remarks from our National President Donna Hokiro and she invited the Resolutions Committee to present to the delegates.

“The Resolutions Committee is one of the big bold moves we’ve made and I'm very proud of the steps that we’ve embarked upon.”
