NTPC Bargaining Input

2020 NTPC BARGAINING INPUT 

Your Collective Agreement expires December 31, 2020.

The bargaining input process starts early, as there are numerous steps to the process:

As always, the UNW will be seeking a negotiated settlement that addresses the priorities identified by the members.

A key part of the process is the opportunity for all members to provide input on their bargaining priorities and make suggestions for changes to the collective agreements. We need your voice!

To ensure that all our members feel they have had an opportunity to contribute, the UNW is adding a NEW STEP to the process by providing two ways to contact your Union directly and identify what is important to you:
  1. NTPC Bargaining Survey
  2. NTPC Bargaining Proposal Suggestion Form

See below for instructions on how to complete and submit these forms.

ALL FORMS MUST BE RECEIVED BY FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2020.

NOTE: You must be a signed Member in Good standing of the NTPC bargaining unit to participate. To sign up or find out how to check your membership status, visit http://www.unw.ca/join-unw.

Once the information has been received and compiled, we will forward it to your Local’s Bargaining Committee to include in what was formerly the first step in the bargaining input process – Local meetings – where proposals will be gathered, debated, and selected to go forward to the Bargaining Conference. The election of delegates from your Local to attend the Bargaining Conference will also take place at these meetings. 

Not all proposals can make it to the table.  You are strongly encouraged to attend Local meetings to speak about your proposal and encourage your Bargaining Committee and fellow members to support it.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact Anne Marie Thistle, Director of Membership Services, at 867-873-5668 or thistla@unw.ca.
