Bargaining Update

Thank you all for your incredible show of support at yesterday’s strike vote. The 99% YES result is an all-time record for Unifor Local 4276—a powerful message that we are standing together. Congratulations!

Negotiation Status The Union and the Company met for further negotiations. Unfortunately, the Company has yet to hear us; we saw very little movement from their side despite our record-breaking mandate.

​

In a final effort to reach a fair agreement, we have agreed to one more round of meetings from April 15 to 17. If the Company remains unwilling to move, we will move toward escalating job action—a step we take with the utmost seriousness.

​

Member Safety Survey: We Need Your Voice Our fight isn't just about wages; it’s about your safety on the floor. Preliminary results from our survey on patron abuse are deeply concerning, with reports of:

  • Sexual assault and harassment

  • Racism

  • Pressure to continue serving intoxicated guests

​

To ensure the Company cannot ignore these issues, we need a larger sample size. If you haven't yet, please take five minutes to complete the survey:

We will continue to keep you informed as we approach the mid-April sessions. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to any member of your bargaining committee.

 

In solidarity,

​

Your Bargaining Committee: Neil McKay, Izzy Miranda, Shondra Ronan, Patty Ross, Raymond Gairdner, Jennifer Moreau.
