Conciliation Moves Forward: Unifor Local 100 and Council 4000 Update
Dear Members,
Unifor Local 100 and Council 4000 continue to work towards securing a fair and just collective agreement for all members.
Following the filing of the Notice of Dispute with the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service on September 27, 2024, conciliators were appointed on October 3, 2024.
Below is the conciliation schedule:
CN Collective Bargaining Process: Council 4000 / Local 100 Dates:
Notice of Bargaining September 1, 2024
Notice of Dispute September 27, 2024
Ministerial Decision (within 15-days of Notice of Dispute) October 3, 2024
Conciliation 60 days unless extended by mutual agreement
Termination of Conciliation December 2, 2024
Cooling-off Period 21 days from Termination of Conciliation (December 23, 2024)
Acquisition of right to strike/lockout January 1, 2025
Mediation No time limit
As the conciliation process continues, we want to remind all members that Local 100 and Council 4000 will be in a strike or lockout position as of January 1, 2025.
Bargaining will reconvene the week of October 21 to 25 for Local 100, and November 11 to 15 for Council 4000.
The next few weeks will be critical and we encourage all members to stay informed and connected. Remember, the employer’s updates may not always reflect the full picture, so rely on union channels for accurate information.
We will continue to provide updates on unifor.org/cnbargaining2024 as we move forward with the conciliation process.
In solidarity,
Council 4000 and Local 100 CN Master Bargaining Committees
