What's Next
There is still a lot of work to be done. Several provisions of the Tentative Agreement (TA), including per diem and the reserve, two-hour call-out, take effect immediately. We will form an Implementation Committee (IC). The IC will work with management to ensure that everything in the new contract is implemented correctly and on time. We all want a smooth transition, and we’ll be doing everything in our power to make that happen.
Additional communication regarding implementation, including educational pieces, will be coming out over the next several days. And finally, we will be working on getting the contact ready for printing and formatted for the IMD. This will help give you the tools to enforce your contract.
We hope that we can go forward in unity and work together as a collective force. No matter what, we are stronger together and better together.
In Solidarity,
Your MEC – Lisa Davis-Warren, Todd Anderson, Aimee Baird, Kirk Hansen, Joelle Jeager; and
Your NC – MEC President Lisa Davis-Warren, Tanya Phillips, Joelle Jaeger, and AFA Senior Staff Negotiator Kimberley Chaput
