BARGAINING UPDATE

Negotiations with the Government of Alberta on the wage re-opener failed to deliver a settlement by April 1, 2019. As a result of the Parties inability to reach a negotiated wage settlement we are exercising our right to seek binding arbitration to resolve the matter. The Union and Employer counsel's are working on establishing an arbitrator and are seeking dates to commence arbitration as quickly as possible. Once dates are formalized we will let you know.
