Your Corrections Bargaining Team met for the first time with the Employer’s Team on December 18 and 19. The parties exchanged opening statements and initial proposal packages. You can review our opening statement here. The parties will now take some time to review one another’s proposals before meeting again in January.
While the parties were able to agree on some very minor housekeeping items, the bulk of the work lies ahead.
Your mobilizers are actively in the field visiting institutions, facilities and community offices. Recently, some of the mobilizers attended Maplehurst Correctional Centre, where a solidarity event was held. We would like to thank the members that participated and attended.
If you have not done so, it is vital that you provide a secure personal email address when asked to do so by a mobilizer or your Local. You can also do this using the Member Portal.
Please be reminded that individual bargaining team members cannot respond to any bargaining-related questions or concerns. If you have questions, please contact the Correctional Bargaining Team at CorrectionsOPSBargaining@opseu.org.
On behalf of the team, we would like to wish our members a safe and
happy holiday.
In solidarity,
Janet Laverty, Bargaining Team Chair
Adam Cygler, Bargaining Team Vice-Chair
