NUREG – Tentative Agreement Ratification Vote

NUREG – Tentative Agreement Ratification Vote

To all NUREG members,

Your NUREG Bargaining Team is pleased to announce that on September 7, 2017 we signed a tentative agreement to complete this round of collective bargaining. The Bargaining Team would like to thank all members for their support.

We believe we have reached the very best negotiated deal possible in what has been a very challenging round of negotiations.

We are therefore recommending that members vote in favour of the deal.

The vote will take place between October 4 and October 12, 2017. In order to vote, you must be a member in good standing.

All members in good standing will receive voting instructions and a voting key by October 4, 2017. If you have not received your voting key by October 4, please contact Linda Rochefort at lrochefort@pipsc.ca. In order for your vote to be counted your electronic voting key must be used by 12 (noon) – (ET) on October 12, 2017.

By voting in favour of the deal, you will be helping to ensure that the significant gains made in this round of bargaining are secured and that your new salary and retroactive pay will take effect soon after the deal has been ratified by both parties.

By voting against the deal, you will be signalling a desire to pursue binding conciliation. This will further delay a final settlement and will leave the final decision in the hands of a conciliator. Ultimately, this may result in the loss of some of these recent gains.

In solidarity,

The NUREG Bargaining Team
