Dear Members,  

We have successfully completed the process outlined in Article 8 of our Agreement, Amendments to the Agreement - which governs the amendment of our collective bargaining terms. Attached you will find the amendments resulting from this process. 

This process entails careful consideration and negotiation between our Union and the Company to ensure that any proposed changes are mutually agreed upon and do not impose any additional financial burden on the Company ("net-zero" financial cost) as per the CA.  

After receiving overwhelming feedback last year regarding confusion surrounding non-monetary amendments, we have adjusted our approach to addressing this issue.  

To clarify these amendments, we have created a video presentation and a question-and-answer document. These resources aim to provide clear explanations and examples of the proposed changes, ensuring that members fully understand the intentions and implications of each amendment. 

Upon reviewing these amendments, eligible Membership will vote on the proposed changes to the Collective Agreement. It's important to note that you will be voting on the amendments as a whole package, rather than individual changes.
