TOSC negotiations update

Thursday Sept. 28, 2017

We will continue to negotiate, but with the offers received from the company today, we are so far apart we are doubtful that we will have a contract to recommend to the union body by
Saturday.  Brothers and sisters be prepared for some difficult decisions.

In solidarity,

Rocky, Brian and Mike

TOSC Negotiations 2017

Brothers and Sisters,

We began contract negotiations on Tuesday Sept 19, 2017 at noon.  We went through the non economic issues and got some language cleaned up.  There are still a couple of non economic issues tied to economics that remain open.  We presented our economic package to the company on Wednesday Sept 20, 2017 and they are currently in caucus with the issues presented.  We will resume negotiations on Monday Sept 25, 2017.  Your negotiating team is working hard to present you with the best contract possible.
