Local 73 – Annapolis Valley Regional Centre for Education Telephone Town Hall Scheduled

As you know, the ratification vote for your local, Local 73 (AVRCE), concluded yesterday and 68 per cent of members voted to reject the employer’s offer.

The bargaining unit has spoken and we have heard you loud and clear – You want to be treated fairly and NSGEU is going to do everything possible to ensure that you are.

The Union will resume preparations for a strike and a Telephone Town Hall is scheduled for tonight Wednesday, October 19 at 8:00 p.m. to discuss next steps.

Participating in the Telephone Town Hall meeting is easy. We will call you approximately five minutes before the call begins on the phone number you have provided to the NSGEU. At any time during the call, if you have a question or wish to make a comment, please dial *3. After speaking to an operator, you will be put in a queue where you will be able to ask your question or make a comment live.

If you do not receive the call or get disconnected you can contact the NSGEU for instructions.

Please contact the NSGEU if you think your contact information is out of date so we can reach you (call 902-424-4063 or email inquiry@nsgeu.ca). 

Your committee members appreciate the ongoing support of the membership during this difficult round of bargaining. The NSGEU would like to thank the members of your bargaining committee for their hard work and dedication, as well.
