GOA Bargaining update

NEGOTIATIONS CONTINUE

Your bargaining committee met with the employer Sept. 12, 13 and 14 in Edmonton to resume bargaining non-monetary items for your next collective agreement.

Gradual progress continues to be made, with four Letters of Understanding (LOU) covering Scheduling; Terms of Reference; Payment for Restructuring and Employment Standards signed off.

Two articles, including some improvements to Time off For Union Business, were agreed to as well. A Letter of Intent (LOI), renewing the workload appeal process in Local 006, was also signed off.

Discussion around other non-monetary items will continue during the next rounds of bargaining, which are scheduled for Sept. 25, 26, 27.
