Sisters and Brothers,

Caucus

As new restrictions are being put in place on a daily/weekly basis, and to enable the Committee to move forward with Bargaining this fall, the following structure has been discussed and approved by the delegates, to be utilized in lieu of Caucus;

A series of meetings will be scheduled for the Bell Craft and Service delegates in lieu of Caucus. The proceedings of these Regional meetings will be based upon the Recommendation Document. The National Representatives and the Bargaining Committee in collaboration with the Unifor officers have met in Ottawa this week and have prepared the Recommendation Document.

A compilation of the demands received from the membership through the local unions, will be compiled for reference of the Bargaining Committee. Regional meetings will provide each Delegate with an opportunity to review all Local demands, the recommendation document, as well as, the ability to vote on and discuss the top 10 demands. The Delegates, using a point system, will determine the final package.

The Regional meetings will be held next week in Hunstville, London, Mississauga, Kingston and Sherbrooke and will be conducted over the course of 4 days, beginning Monday November 2nd.
