Bargaining Team

December 15

Bargaining continued on Friday. Progress continues but a number of key issues for our members remain unresolved. The employer still has concessions on the table.

During the month of January, we will be producing bulletins on these key issues and concessions. We will also be working with our mobilization committee to develop new activities in support of our demands leading up to the next round of bargaining.

We will be back in negotiations from February 13 to 16, 2018.

December 14

We had another productive day of bargaining. Negotiations are progressing. We will be meeting with the employer again  tomorrow.

Addressing Anti-Black Racism in Ottawa

Unifor Local 2025, PSAC and several other partners/donors contributed to the release of this report which is worth reading.

The report is only available in English at the moment.

Comrades,

We would like to thank and congratulate our newly acclaimed Unifor Local 2025 Executive members as follows:

On October 20 to 23, Abudi Awaysheh a member of our local in Vancouver, attended the Canadian Labour Congress’ 2nd National Human Rights Convention titled “Rise Up! 2016 – Live the Change” in Ottawa. Over one thousand people were in attendance, including guests from Canada’s Territorial and Provincial Federations of Labour, as well as Delegates and elected Union leaders from every National, Provincial and Territorial Union across the country, including many Unifor locals.
