Local 4 (Grain Millers) bargaining meeting April 10, 2019
The Local 4 members came out to 2 meetings on April 10 to get an update on the progress of negotiations. Turn out was high and members heard where negotiations are at and the committee heard where the members want the negotiations to go.
Member input and direction is key to building a strong, focused and respectful collective bargaining relationship with the Company. The bargaining committee will meet with the Company again on May 2, 2019.

Local 17 (Discovery Co-op) bargaining update
GSU's Local 17 members rejected the company's final offer and the parties are at an impasse.
The Union served notice of impasse to the Minister of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety and we expect the Minister will appoint a conciliator to arrange conciliated bargaining session(s) within the next 60 days to assist the parties and attempt to reach an agreement.

The Union served notice of impasse to the Minister of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety and we expect the Minister will appoint a conciliator to assist the parties and arrange a conciliated bargaining session(s) within the next 60 days.
