NAV CANADA Bargaining Update #3
NAV CANADA and the IBEW picked up where we left off having completed three more days of bargaining towards a new collective agreement.
The professional approach to collective bargaining by both teams allowed for positive, full and open discussions on issues including Hours of Work, Staffing, Leave and Employment Security. Sufficient progress was made in these and other areas to move into the last phase of negotiations. As part of our normal approach to negotiations, we will not be publicising any specifics regarding issues under review.
The parties will meet again on November 22-25, 2011 in Ottawa. Our mutual goal is to resolve all outstanding issues and conclude discussions on the renewal of the collective agreement.
In Solidarity,
Daniel J Boulet
Business Manager / Financial Secretary
