Dear RO/RCO colleagues,

Since we wrote to you in December after our last negotiations with NRC management, your RO/RCO group bargaining team has been busy preparing for the next bargaining sessions scheduled for February 20-22, 2018 at the PIPSC office in Ottawa.

During that week of bargaining, we would appreciate visible support by RO/RCO members at work, in Ottawa and across Canada.  We encourage you to wear a Better Together pin or RO/RCO t-shirt or bring an RO/RCO mug or water bottle to a work meeting.

As we communicated in our last update, the employer’s ratification process has become more complicated with the previous government’s introduction of Bill C-45. We’d like to explain the employer’s new ratification process in more detail so that everyone understands this long and frustrating process.
