Bargaining
Vancouver Shipyards Bulletin – Membership Meeting and Strike Vote – Notice of Poll
July 2, 2024
All MoveUP members at Vancouver Shipyards
After 64 days of bargaining with the employer, the parties reached an impasse on Thursday, June 27, 2024.
At this time, your Poly-Party Council of Unions Bargaining Committee has concluded that we need to consult with the membership. In order to ensure that the priorities we were given by the membership still remain unchanged, we will be conducting a meeting for all members of the Poly-Party unions and conducting a strike vote.
Details of the meeting are as follows:
Date: Saturday, July 13, 2024
Time: 10:00am
Place: Croatian Cultural Center
3250 Commercial Drive
Vancouver, BC
Agenda:
- Poly-Party Bargaining Committee Introductions
- Information Session on Bargaining
- Strike Vote
On the ballot you will be asked the following question:
Are you in favour of a strike:
Yes □
No □
In order for all members to make an informed decision, please review the following documents ahead of the meeting. You will find a copy of the union’s last comprehensive offer of June 14 here, and the employer’s last comprehensive offer of May 23 here. Additionally, you will find a copy of all of the signed off proposals here.
We understand that this has been a long process and your patience is greatly appreciated. We hope to see you on July 13.
In solidarity,
Kithusan Pararasasingam, Job Steward
