Despite the rumours that are flying, talks ARE continuing with the employer. We are unable to go into details due to the media blackout.
“I know how frustrating it is to keep hearing this same message,” said Marg Simmons, chair of the OPS Central Team. “We fully appreciate how hard it is to maintain your spirit and keep the lines strong when you have no idea what is happening at the table.”
All we can say is that we would not be still at the table working if progress wasn’t being made.
We thank you for your faith and patience. Your continued commitment will make the difference.
