Dollar-Thrifty and Hertz YVR – Bargaining Update #5
April 30, 2026
To: All MoveUP members at Dollar-Thrifty and Hertz YVR
Your bargaining committee met again on April 28-29, 2026. While we were hopeful to have an agreement, the employer was not able to do so. They have requested one more date and the union requested one as soon as could be scheduled.
We have one more date scheduled for May 7, 2026 – are of the view that an agreement will be reached on May 7, 2026, or the parties will be at an impasse (no agreement).
We will be having membership meetings with you to discuss next steps if this occurs.
As discussed previously, we have signed off proposals on:
- job stewards and union representation
- shared commitment on fair and reasonable approach to employer rights
- housekeeping and clarifications to the grievance procedure
- improved right of representation
- improved job description to better accurately reflect current practices and to better reflect roles and responsibilities
- improvements to the floating holiday scheduling including an option to elect for the day to be paid out in Article 23.02
We have tentative agreement on a number of benefit improvements including short-term disability, life insurance, and accidental death and dismemberment.
For wages and monetary, considerable efforts by your bargaining committee to address the low wages of our drivers. The employer has listened to those concerns, and we hope to have an agreement on all wages and benefits at the next meeting.
Please be sure you have provided us with a current private email address and a phone number. You can contact the Membership Department at membership@moveuptogether.ca to update your contact information.
In solidarity,
Your bargaining committee
