Your Union has officially concluded the conciliation process with the assistance of federally appointed mediators. At this time we have not reached a tentative agreement to present to you, our membership.
Despite sustained efforts at the bargaining table, key issues remain unresolved, including but not limited to:
- Pay
- Unpaid work
- Per diems
- Pension
- Work rules
- Prone rest
Our role as your Union is to negotiate a deal that you deserve, one that reflects your value, your work, and your sacrifices. That means nothing less than an industry-leading contract, and we will not settle for less.
To achieve this, we are moving to seek your support with a strong Strike Vote. Starting next week, you will be asked to vote in favour of a Strike Mandate. This is your moment to be heard, to stand with your colleagues and harness our collective power. This is where our strength lies and this is how we will show the Company that we are united, serious, and will accept nothing less than the contract we deserve.
Membership Information Sessions will be held via Zoom, with details announced Friday, July 25, 2025. These sessions will explain why your “Yes” vote is essential. On Monday, you will receive instructions on how to cast your Strike Vote electronically. Voting will be open from Monday, July 28 through August 5, 2025.
We understand the importance of this moment. We are united, focused, and committed to delivering the contract you’ve earned through your professionalism and dedication.
No more diversions. Fair contract now.
In solidarity,
Your Bargaining Committee
