June 23, 2023
Dear CNI (and CUPE 4207, Unit 4 member).
We are creating momentum as members of our newly formed union. Your bargaining committee members have been busy attending various CUPE training events so that we can effectively represent the members at the bargaining table.

We have had attendance or have plans to attend the following-
June 15th “Mobilizing for Bargaining and preparing for Bargaining” module
June 22nd “Special General Members Meeting”
July 4th “Note Taking module”.

Additionally, we are so pleased to announce that the Unit 4 Bargaining Survey was completed. Thank you to the members for their input in deciding key Bargaining Priorities. After reconciling the results of the Survey, a Unit 4 meeting was held on June 20th to present the data to the members. The key Priorities were highlighted and accepted unanimously by the members.

Stay tuned for further updates as we work to solidify the Bargaining Priorities into Proposals.

In Solidarity,
Your Unit 4 Bargaining Committee
