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.

Your bargaining team met in a smaller group with management on June 5 and 6 in hopes of agreeing on a tentative settlement. We continued talks on Monday June 12 and the parties are continuing efforts to conclude bargaining.

On Thursday June 15th your bargaining team met all day to evaluate our options and continue working on the best deal possible for all PIPSC members.

We will inform you on our next meeting dates soon.

Sincerely,

Michael Simard
