To the membership,
We met with the Company today to confirm bargaining dates for this round of negotiations. Of the thirty-one days in August, the Company has provided their availability for only two of them. Your bargaining committee has made bargaining a priority and have made themselves available for both months, including evenings and weekends. This only leaves us sixteen days in September before the looming contract expiration deadline of midnight, September 30th. The recent release of the Q2 Teck unaudited report, shows once again the Company is achieving record profits, eclipsing all previous financial benchmarks. They have cut costs to the amount of over one billion dollars, while copper futures continue to soar into uncharted territory. Throughout the pandemic, we adapted, we struggled, and we made record profits for Teck, while management stayed at home. You do the math. You have confided in us with taking your ideas and concerns to the bargaining table. We do this knowing that we have your trust, support, and solidarity while we negotiate the best possible contract. Thank you for your continued support. Please keep safety to the forefront and stay informed with your local CAT team member. In solidarity, USW 7619 Bargaining Team Comments are closed.
