Dear Members,
The Unifor Council 4000 VIA bargaining committee met with VIA Rail December 3-5 in Montreal to continue negotiations on the renewal of Collective Agreements No. 1 and 2.
Talks focused on part-time workers, including the Union’s position that the Corporation is misusing the intent of part-time provisions in the collective agreements.
Bargaining for Council 4000 will recommence sometime in late January or early February. You will be notified of future dates once those are agreed upon with the Company.
Local 100 has bargaining dates set for January 28-31 in Montreal.
Your working conditions will not be affected as the collective agreements expire on December 31, 2019. The Bargaining Committee remains determined to bargain the best agreement possible and is working hard to secure gains for all members.
This newsletter and the website are your best source for up to date information. We would like to thank the membership for their continuing show of support.
Best wishes from your union for a safe Holiday Season, and a Happy New Year.
