Your negotiating team has begun preparing for bargaining. We will meet on December 5 for training and to create our bargaining survey for all Northern Lights members to complete.
We will email the survey around December 9, and you can also request a paper copy from a member of your negotiating team. We want to know your priorities for bargaining and to fight for those priorities. Answering the survey is how we advocate for what matters most to all of us.
Our first meeting with the employer will be on December 4, where we will request that negotiations begin in January.
Wear red to show your support
We need to show that we are united and serious about getting what we deserve at the bargaining table. Show our solidarity by wearing red at work, especially on bargaining dates! Stay tuned for more information, including when our bargaining meetings are scheduled.
Stay informed, stay engaged.
AUPE sends lots updates to keep you in the loop. Update your contact information at www.aupe.org/update-info if you are not receiving our bargaining updates or other union news.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please reach out to a member of your negotiating team.
