G4S – PREBOARD SCREENING PERSONNEL LOCAL LODGE 16 – PACIFIC REGION – NEGOTIATIONS UPDATE

Dear Brothers and Sisters:

Your elected Negotiations Committee from throughout the region met in Vancouver the week of October 20 – 24, 2014 to continue preparations for Collective Bargaining with G4S.

The Committee received training from Chris Wagoner, Director of the IAM’s Education and Technology Center.

The results of the Membership Bargaining Survey were reviewed and the Committee engaged in an in-depth discussion of the Membership’s concerns, which will serve to form the Union’s Bargaining Agenda.

We will be engaging in coordinated Bargaining initiatives with our sister Screening Officer Local 2921 in Toronto and other Bargaining Units across Canada who are represented by both the IAM and the Steelworkers on common Screening Officer issues and concerns.

In the Membership Bargaining Survey, Members indicated that their most preferred method of communication from the Negotiations Committee is through email. The Committee Communicator, John Vincent is building a group email account in order to provide the Membership with timely accurate updates from the Committee. If you wish to receive these updates, please provide your email address to jvincent@iamaw16.ca.

The Committee is scheduled to meet internally in Vancouver the week of November 17 – 21, 2014 to finalize our Bargaining Agenda and continue proposal development.

Together, standing strong as one Union and speaking with one loud voice, we can improve our standard of living.

Remember to always work safe.

In Solidarity,

Tania Canniff, General Chairperson Paul Penman, General Chairperson

Transportation District 140, IAMAW Transportation District 140, IAMAW
