Hello Sisters & Brothers.

As you all know, both the TA (Unit 1) and the Sessional (Unit 2) Collective Agreements (CAs) expire at the end of this month (August 31st). The current CAs continue in force till new CAs are negotiated.

That is what we are embarking on today with the employer. We have prepared a presentation for opening this round of bargaining. Click Here To Read Our Full Presentation.

Now more than ever we need your support.

Drop by the office to find out what you can do to help.

In Solidarity
