Hi Folks:
We had just over 100 members attend the GSBC Bargaining team Town Hall Meeting in Red Deer on April 12/11 at the Capri Center .
Jim D from Local 002 and part of the GSBC Bargaining team, explained
what the Tentative Agreement entailed and what the process was from the
start till agreement reached on March 31/11. And also he expressed the
importance of the voting process and that all ballots need to be returned
by May 11/11, ballot counting will happen at HQ on May 12/11.
Cec C. from Local 003 and GSBC bargaining member, also helped in explaining
some of the language pertaining to members in Local 003.
And representing Local 009 Tammy Zimmerman , who did a fantastic job!
And our President Guy Smith, giving a history on what GSBC has being going
through and what action he took, to spark appropriate bargaining.
Thank you Guy for doing that!
In all the GSBC is recommending that the GSBC members do vote in favor of the
presented Tentative Agreement.
This is your right to vote and I believe that showing a strong return with the ballots is also a strong
message to our employer that we are not complacent about our jobs or of the actions that GOA
Don’t go unnoticed.
Please fill out your ballot properly and send back to HQ in self addressed and posted envelope
that has been sent to you!
Thanks for your time
Penny Bates
Local 009 Chair
