Your WPEA bargaining team met with the employer on Tuesday, November 18.
We are pleased to share that we reached a Tentative Agreement on Article 3 – Health and Safety , which includes an increase in the footwear allocation.
Overall, conversations at the table were respectful and constructive. It’s a slow start — but it is a start, and we remain committed to making steady progress on your behalf.
During this session, WPEA presented initial proposals on Articles:
19 – Vacation Leave
20 – Sick Leave
21 – Miscellaneous Leave
22 – Holidays
Article X – the AI article
We also submitted counterproposals on Articles:
5 – Management Rights
6 – Seniority
8 – Non-discrimination
The employer responded with counters to Articles:
6 – Seniority
21 – Miscellaneous Leave
Our next bargaining session is scheduled for December 2. We will continue to keep you updated as negotiations move forward.
In Solidarity,
WPEA
