Your TC Bargaining Team was in Ottawa from October 7th to the 10th for a session of mediation.
Our objectives were to make improvements on our outstanding TC specific and lead table issues with the assistance of the mediator. Unfortunately this did not happen. The Employer appears to define a successful mediation session as one where proposals are withdrawn or articles are renewed unchanged. Since these sessions were held in the middle of a Federal election, it appears that the Employer is unable to make any commitments until a new government is formed.
Mediation sessions are a necessary step in the arbitration process. If the mediation process is not successful the parties have access to arbitration. Dates for future mediation sessions are yet to be determined.
