CIATU **Reminder** Expression of Interest for Members to sit on 2026 Bargaining Committee
November 7, 2025
To: All MoveUP Members at CIATU
A reminder that the window for putting your name forward for consideration to sit on the bargaining committee for the next round will close at end of day tomorrow, Friday November 7, 2025
Your collective agreement will expire on April 30, 2026. The terms of the agreement will remain in full force until a new agreement is negotiated and ratified.
We are now seeking three CIATU MoveUP members to represent you as bargaining committee members. This committee will play a vital role working with your reps to set bargaining priorities, craft proposals, and ultimately help to decide whether to reject or recommend any prospective new agreement.
Committee members can be from any job classification or level of experience but should have served long enough to be broadly and reliably familiar with their employers’ operations.
MoveUP Executive Councillor from LiUNA, Shona Dion has already been appointed to sit on this committee. As your collective agreement covers a diverse group of workplaces with a relatively small group of MoveUP members at each one, we would strongly prefer that each committee member come from a different workplace, as this would maximize our ability to fairly represent the interests of all MoveUP CIATU members.
As we anticipate that bargaining will begin well in advance of the expiry of the agreement, time is of the essence to appoint this committee so we can promptly begin preparing for a successful round of negotiations. Selection for this committee will close at end of day Friday, November 7, 2025.
If you are interested in taking on this role, please contact Chris Shier at cshier@moveuptogether.ca or your Vice President Christy Slusarenko at cslusarenko@moveuptogether.ca.
In solidarity,
Chris Shier, Union Representative
Paul Voykin, Union Representative
Christy Slusarenko, VP – Combined Units.
