Correction: There was an error in the printed version of this Bargaining Bulletin. The strike/lockout deadline is 12:01am on November 16th, not November 15th as printed.

Over the last month the provincial government has stated their intention to engage in a “consultation period” with public sector unions and employers on the notion of wage restraint. These provincial “consulations” will be taking place in Toronto between August 9th and October 1st.

After these “consultations”, we hope there will be more clarity around the province’s expectations, and what effect, if any, they will have on local bargaining. In the meantime, the parties have agreed to suspend bargaining until early November. We will meet in mediation in the first week of November to continue to try and reach a settlement.

According to the agreement reached between the parties, the former collective agreement will remain in effect up to and including November 15th.
