Dear DH Local 112 members,
This update is to advise you on the latest developments with negotiations between the union and the company.
As previously announced, after talks resumed with the company on Tuesday September 7 at 10 a.m. Unifor presented a new comprehensive proposal to the company covering all outstanding issues including the future location of the Dash 8 program. On Thursday September 9, the company announced it would take time to regroup before responding to the proposal. Since that time, Unifor has not received a response from the company.
As a result, earlier today, the Unifor negotiating team met, including National President Jerry Dias, Assistant to the National President Shane Wark, National Representative Barry Lines, the Local 673 and 112 bargaining committees, and the Local 673 and 112 Presidents. At this meeting, it was unanimously agreed that Unifor will continue to make every effort to try to advance the bargaining process. This includes submitting a further bargaining offer to the company by 4:30 p.m. today that seeks a detailed response within 48 hours.
We will continue to keep members informed of new developments. We thank you for your continued patience with the bargaining process as well as your support and solidarity on the picket line.
In solidarity,
DH Bargaining Committee
