Update from the bargaining table

During the writ period, your bargaining team continued working on proposals so that we would be in a position to resume bargaining once the government was back in place following the provincial election.Your bargaining team resumed negotiations with the employer on April 16, 2025, and we remain in the early stages of the bargaining process. We are committed to advancing the priorities identified by the bargaining unit.As such, we have confirmed these additional meeting dates with the employer:
  • May 6-7
  • May 22
  • June 23-24
We remain hopeful that momentum will build in the bargaining process so that members will be able to participate in a ratification vote on a tentative agreement for the first time in over a decade.

Corrections Cares events

The Correctional Bargaining Unit held a number of Corrections Cares events primarily in support of Boots on the Ground, and other local charities across the province. We were able to raise $18,853 in donations, giving back to our communities. Shout out to everyone who was involved in organizing, participating, and donating to these important causes!Group of OCI correctional workers standing outside with Corrections Division flag Group of Correctional workers posing in an axe-throwing facility Three correctional workers standing together holding a large cheque for Boots on the Ground Group of correctional workers standing together holding a cheque for Boots on the Ground Group shot of hockey players posing together on the ice Three correctional workers standing together holding a large cheque made out to Boots on the Ground Five correctional workers standing together in the lobby of an arena
