Message of support from the University of Ottawa Support Staff Good morning all,

Ottawa – September 8, 2017 Monsieur Elvio Buono Associate Vice-President, Human Resources Human Resources, Tabaret Hall 550 Cumberland Street, Room 019 Ottawa, ON, K1N 6N5

Result of the Strike Vote A Strike vote was held between August 24 and 28, 2017. A substantial percentage of the bargaining unit members voted in favour of providing your Bargaining Team with a strong strike mandate. A number of fun events are being planned for the next two weeks.

Update on PIPSC-UOITP bargaining posted by the University of August 18. As previously stated due to the University walking away from the bargaining table and declaring an impasse at the negotiations, your Bargaining team met in conciliation with the employer on August 2, 2017.

OITP Bargaining Update # 5 – August 2017 Issues of the Impasse in Bargaining leading to the Strike Vote

Your Bargaining Team met with the University in conciliation on August 2, 2017. The conciliator provided by Ontario Labour Relations was unable to help both sides to reach an agreement. Therefore the UOITP asked the conciliator to issue a ‘No Board Report’. This Report simply states that the UOITP and the University have reached an impasse in negotiations. The Report was issued on August 10, 2017 which puts UOITP in a legal strike position on August 27, 2017.

Conciliation is a process by which a trade union or an employer can ask the Ontario Ministry of Labour for help in resolving their differences so that they can reach a collective agreement. Either party may apply to the ministry. If parties are in negotiations, they must use the government's conciliation services before they can get into a position to engage in a strike or lock-out.

Dear Members, Your Bargaining Team met with the Employer on May 9 and 10, 2017. We reviewed the Employer's proposals and discussed your priorities, highlighted from the bargaining survey. Your top three priorities: Job security, Outside Consulting and Remuneration were presented.

Your UOITP Bargaining Team met with the University on April 20 and 26, 2017 to begin negotiating the renewal of your collective agreement. The parties exchanged proposals.
