Voting Results of Local 83 Proposed Collective Agreement

Posted on

Thank you to all members who came out last night to vote on the Local 83 Proposed Collective Agreement at all three locations.

After all the ballots where counted, the majority of members were “not” in favour of the proposed agreement. The current Collective Agreement expires on April 30th, 2018, meaning we will have time to make adjustments and present a new proposal to the membership.

Thanks again to all members who took time from their busy schedules to come out and vote. Overall, we had a total of 342 voters.

Fraternally,

Scott Keeping
Regional Manager, Nova Scotia and PEI
