The Union met with the Company over the last two days, in an attempt to move the Company off of their position in gutting the Collective Agreement. Specifically we talked about Article 3.07 and the Letters of Understanding that pertain to Contracting Out in the CBA. The Company’s position over the last few days has not changed; they seek to eliminate all contracting out provisions in the Collective Agreement. Our position is clear, we have fought for 25 years to ensure that employees of Local 7619 have opportunities to work, train, and to prosper through our Collective Agreement. We carefully explained to the Company our position, and the position of third parties who have ruled and decided in favor of the Union. Our position is clear, members of our local union will continue to work and to have opportunities at all times, rather than giving away those opportunities and work to a contractor. Mediator Ready has adjourned the talks, and will advise the parties on when talks will resume. We have scheduled the postponed membership meetings for this Thursday, Jan 12th, at the regular times at the Kamloops Union Hall. Please attend, and we can discuss more.
