Bargaining UpdateFollowing conciliation on July 27, 2011, members ratified the tentative agreement to rollover the collective agreement an additional year, to June 30, 2011, with a 1% increase and some language improvements. Recently, the Union asked the conciliation officer to schedule another date in an effort to reach a tentative agreement. The parties are now scheduled to meet on February 20, 2012. There are still a number of outstanding proposals. For the Union they include various improvements to leave provisions, vacation, bereavement, leave for family illness and, wage increases. For the Employer they include the pension plan governance and contribution rate increase, allowing managers and employees to mutually agree to increase hours of work, and the elimination of the step 4 salary scale. Members will be given the opportunity to either vote on a tentative agreement if one is reached in conciliation, or to vote on the Employer’s final offer if an agreement is not reached. Detailed information and meetings will be scheduled to prepare members for voting. Your Bargaining Committee thanks you for your continued support. If you have any questions, please contact a member of your Bargaining Committee, or the NSGEU Labour Resource Centre at 424-4063 (toll free 1-877-556-7438), or e-mail us at inquiry@nsgeu.ca 2012 WEEK-LONG SCHOOL May 13 - 18, 2012
