Good day Brothers and Sisters and Union Family,

Strike Mandate Vote Results

Your Bargaining Committee would like to thank you for the support you have given us. Your support in voting and 98.3% result in favour of the strike mandate vote has given your bargaining committee another strong mandate for the negotiating table. The results clearly show your solidarity to get a fair deal. We are committed to getting a new collective agreement.

Where are we now?

We are currently working hard on your behalf and are in the midst of exchanging monetary proposals. The first exchanges with the company so far have presented minimal gains to the membership. The negotiation committee believes in your mandates and the requests made for a sustainable future in Thompson for you and the generations to come. We are continuing to meet with company to bargain a fair deal.

Bargaining Townhall Meeting 

The committee invites all USW 6166 to a townhall meeting for bargaining updates. This meeting will take place at the Union Hall on Wednesday September 4th, at 7.30 am and 7.30 pm to discuss where we are at in the process and to field any questions.

In Solidarity,

Your Bargaining Committee

Warren, Scott, Matt, Jesse, Dave and Todd.
