Interim update: Immediate next steps for DCS bargaining

As we continue to move forward with the coordinated bargaining effort in Community Services, we wanted to provide another short update to members on where we are in the process.  

The Executive of the Long-Term Care/Community Services Coordinating Committee is set to meet next Tuesday, February 6th. During this meeting, the Bargaining Committee will also be discussing outstanding items. 

The conciliation officer, assigned to the Lead Table, has been on vacation, returning to work next Monday, February 5th. 

The employer/Government stated that they should have an offer to present by the end of that week (this information comes from Gary Rankin, the lawyer negotiating for the employer).  

So, please watch out for additional updates in the coming weeks!  

Our thanks again to members for their ongoing support and engagement. We are pushing forward, and we are fighting for our members in community services.
