Fellow Members,

I would like to thank everyone who was able to participate during last week’s ratification vote.

During the ratification process, 400 out of 464 members casted a vote, for a participation rate of 86%. From this number, 290 (72.5%) members voted in favor of accepting the tentative agreement and 110 (27.5%) voted in favor of rejecting the offer.

Your group executive will be hosting a series of lunch and learns to explain the new provisions of our collective agreement and address any questions you may have.

Sincerely,
Michael Simard

As reported before, your bargaining team signed a tentative agreement on July 5, 2017 to complete this round of collective bargaining. Electronic voting on the tentative agreement will take place from July 24, 2017 to July 28, 2017 at 3:30 pm (EST).

The Bargaining Team hosted an information session on July 12 at the St. Elias Center in Ottawa and on July 13 at the Delta City Centre in Ottawa. We can’t express enough how pleased we were at the record amount of participation we had. It confirms our solidarity and the importance you have placed on our terms and conditions of employment. We appreciated all the positive comments and equally we appreciated all the tough questions and feedback. 

As promised, attached is a copy of the presentation in PDF format.

Fellow Members,

Following the announcement of our tentative agreement we felt it was necessary to provide you with the attached additional information to ensure you can evaluate all the positive gains against the mandatory payout of our severance and reduction to our DIP properly.

In addition you will be receiving a comprehensive package with all the details on Monday or Tuesday.

Sincerely,
Michael Simard

Article 27 - Vacations

The Bargaining Team met on Wednesday July 5, 2017 to consider a Memorandum of Settlement that was offered by the company. Your Bargaining team and Group Executive agreed to unanimously recommend the acceptance of the settlement. Lunch and Learn events will be held near the workplace to present the offer to the membership. An invite will be sent out via my NAV CANADA account shortly (Michael.simard@navcanada.ca).  I will also, be sending you a  Ratification Kit where you will be asked to vote on the new agreement.
