We have several updates to share as we prepare for the upcoming round of bargaining.
Notice to bargain served
The Notice to Bargain has been served, which means terms and conditions of employment are frozen under applicable legislation.
Members’ priorities
We have received the results of the bargaining survey. Members identified several key priorities, including telework, compensation, and leave. These results will help guide our preparations and shape our proposals for this round of bargaining.
Preparing for negotiations
On October 22, 2026, the LS, TR, and IS bargaining team met to finalize the non-monetary proposal package. The team also met with PIPSC’s Lead Researcher, Ryan Campbell, to begin discussions on monetary priorities and prepare for negotiations.
What’s next?
We will keep members informed as soon as we receive proposed bargaining dates from the employer. At this time, we don’t expect the first bargaining meeting to take place before spring 2027.
In the meantime, watch your inbox for an upcoming bargaining webinar. The webinar will provide more information about the bargaining process and give members an opportunity to ask questions.
Thank you for your continued engagement and support. Your feedback and participation help us advocate for improvements that reflect your priorities.
