Bargaining Update: Local 100 VIA Rail

Share

Dear members,

Your Bargaining Committee has been at the virtual bargaining table with VIA Rail from Wednesday to Friday this week.

We are encouraged to be bargaining once more, after many sessions in the spring and fall were interrupted or delayed because of the pandemic and the second wave in Quebec.

Our bargaining is now taking place with committee members and national staff tuning in from their homes across the country. We are uniting, representing Local 100’s far-reaching geography and our shared goals.

Progress remains slow but positive, as we work through the Rules in our contract.

We will be back at the bargaining table from Monday to Friday of next week, and look forward to making continued progress on behalf of all members.

The union does not bargain in public, but we will use these tools to update you as often as possible. We would ask all members to not listen to the Employer for updates, or entertain rumours that may come up during the bargaining process. Please reach out to your local union representatives for additional information or with questions.

We would like to thank the membership for their continuing show of support.

In solidarity,

Local 100 VIA Rail Bargaining Committee
