SH Group Bargaining Communique #11 - March 2019

Members of the Bargaining Team for the SH Group met in Ottawa March 13 and 14, 2019.  The team finalized language for all areas designated by placeholders at the initial exchange of proposals (https://www.pipsc.ca/groups/sh/exchange-bargaining-proposals-between-sh-group-and-treasury-board).

The SH Bargaining Team is next scheduled to meet with Treasury Board for negotiations April 24 and 25/2019.
