HPD Central Bargaining Team is Hard at Work

Your Bargaining Team has met to prepare for tabling your demands.  We have taken care to ensure that the demands are properly worded and backed up by extensive solid research.  Bargaining will begin when we table the demands on January 21.  Bargaining will continue on January 22, 23 and on February 2, 3 and 4.  We have mediation scheduled to begin on February 9, with Gerry Lee.

Local issues will be vetted by a sub-committee of the OPSEU and Hospitals teams on January 19 and 20, to ensure they are properly local in nature.  Local issues negotiations may begin once the parties at the local level have received confirmation regarding their demands.

We will keep you posted on our progress at the table.  We are counting on your support!
