Local 70 Bargaining Update: Telephone Town Hall Scheduled for Tonight, October 19, at 6:15 pm

Last week a decision was made to suspend negotiations with your employer, the South Shore Regional Centre of Education (SSRCE) until Local 73’s (AVRCE) ratification vote concluded.

Yesterday, Local 73 rejected the employer’s offer with 68% voting against.

Your SSRCE bargaining committee is meeting today and a Telephone Town Hall is scheduled for this evening, Wednesday, October 19 at 6:15 p.m. to discuss next steps for your local.

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Please contact the NSGEU if you think your contact information is out of date so we can reach you (call 902-424-4063 or email inquiry@nsgeu.ca).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