Calendar

The Bargaining Committee of Unit 1 is resuming negotiation with the employer on January 13 and 21.

January 13 from 9 am to 2 pm

January 21 from 9 am to 5 pm

We are ‘allowed’ five observers. An observer is a member who wishes to observe what’s going on in negotiations. If you want to see the collective bargaining from the first hand, do not hesitate and email the union info@cupe4207.org, more than 24 hours before the meeting. You do not have to spend the whole day in bargaining, even for an hour or two helps to show the employer, our members matter!

You would have an observer status, which means, no voice, simply observing.
