Unifor Council 4000 and Local 100 met with VIA Rail in Montreal this week to continue bargaining.
Both committees continued to resolve outstanding grievances.
We then proceeded to exchange proposals with the Company and discussed work rules. We will
continue to work diligently to secure a fair contract for all members.
We reiterate that members identified a number of key issues in this contract negotiation, including a
strengthened pension plan, an end to contracting out, made-in-Canada fleet sourcing, part time and
work/rest rules.
Bargaining for Council 4000 will continue in the first week of December in Montreal and Local 100
will meet with the Company again during the last week of January in Montreal.
The Bargaining Committee remains determined to bargain the best agreement possible and is
working hard to secure gains for all members.
We would like to thank the membership for your continuing show of support.
This newsletter and the website are your best source for up to date information.
The union does not bargain in public, but we will use these tools to update you as often as possible.
We would ask all members to not listen to the Employer for updates, or entertain rumors that may
come up during the bargaining process. Please reach out to your local union representatives for
additional information or with questions.
