Bargaining team elected, final demands set!
Our collective agreement expired on March 31, 2023, and the Bill 124 reopener negotiations caused a delay in getting back to the bargaining table. However, we are now ready to proceed and have secured dates in December with the employer.
Your bargaining team has been elected!
- Casey McGuire, Bargaining Team Chair, Local 412 – [email protected]
- Cathy Masterson, Bargaining Team Vice Chair, Local 522 – [email protected]
- Jason Gasgas, Local 545 – [email protected]
- Deanna Thompson, Local 432 – [email protected]
- Pak Yip, Local 545 – [email protected]
We will be meeting as a team in the coming months for training and to put together proposals based on the demands identified and voted on by delegates at the Final Demand Set meeting held October 5, 2024.
OPSEU/SEFPO staff have been providing us with much-needed resources and support. Research Officer Christian Down and Negotiator Carla Carubba have been assigned to assist us in this round of bargaining.
