Join our Telephone Town Halls for a full update before your team returns to the bargaining table

We are pleased to report that we have resolved our disagreement over the Essential Services Agreement (ESA) thanks to working on it collaboratively with the employer. We have withdrawn our appeal with the Alberta Labour Relations Board.

With this issue now resolved, the ESA needs final approval by the GSBC, the Employer, and the Commissioner of Essential Services. Based on this, we are scheduling bargaining dates for early in the new year.

Please join the upcoming telephone town hall meetings to ask your important questions about bargaining.
