With the current collective agreement set to expire on Dec. 31, 2024, the Correctional Bargaining Unit has elected a 13-member bargaining team to begin work on negotiating the next collective agreement.
Janet Laverty was re-elected as the Bargaining Team Chair, and Adam Cygler was re-elected as the Vice-Chair.
“Now is the time for all Correctional Bargaining Unit members to get involved,” said Bargaining Team Chair Janet Laverty. “We want to send a clear message to the Employer in this round of bargaining, and to do that we need a strong mandate from our members. The demand set survey will be coming out in the next few weeks and I want encourage everyone to fill it out and have their say in the bargaining demands.”
“This newly-elected bargaining team will represent our members well as we head into contract negotiations in the fall,” said Bargaining Team Vice-Chair Adam Cygler. “We will continue to bargain for wages and benefits that reflect the unique needs of correctional workplaces.”
Congratulations to everyone who stepped up, participated and who stood for election!
