BloodLines Bargaining Bulletin: Fairness is what we’re bargaining for!

What are we bargaining for? Fairness!

The OPSEU/SEFPO CBS Bargaining Team met with the employer last week on October 2 and 3, 2024 to exchange proposals and engage in discussions.

Our proposals centred around job protection, work-life balance, and other key issues that are vital to improving working conditions and ensuring fair treatment for all of our members. That’s why the theme for this round of bargaining is “Fairness”!

Upcoming bargaining dates:

While we have made some progress in addressing some of these important topics, there is still more work to be done. Our discussions will continue at our upcoming meetings scheduled for the following dates:

  • December 3-4, 2024
  • January 23-24, 2025

We remain committed to achieving the best possible outcome for you and our entire bargaining unit, and will keep you informed every step of the way.

Your support is crucial to the success of these negotiations, and we want to thank you for your continued solidarity and support during the bargaining process.
