Bargaining
Hastings Entertainment Inc. – Bulletin to Recruit JS for Bargaining Committee
September 10, 2024
To: All MoveUP members at Hastings Entertainment Inc.
We hope that all of you are doing well during these uncertain times. On December 31, 2024, your collective agreement will expire, please note the current agreement will continue in full force and effect until the parties conclude a renewal collective.
It is important that we prepare ourselves for negotiations. Currently we have one job steward, Lashanthan (Lyle) Jeyachandran from the Casino Security team. In preparation for bargaining we need to have two more job stewards involved and engaged to create a strong bargaining committee with representation from the various departments of Hastings Entertainment Inc.
We encourage all of you to consider becoming job stewards to assist your Union with communication and to ensure the collective agreement is adhered to by the Employer.
We anticipate getting the bargaining survey out over the coming month and hope that everyone will take the time to fill it out so that we have a clear direction for the bargaining team.
We look forward to working with all of you and if you are interested in being a job steward, and/or participating on the bargaining committee please email Vice President of Combined Units Christy Slusarenko at cslusarenko@moveuptogether.ca or your Union Representative Phillip Bargen at pbargen@moveuptogether.ca.
In Solidarity,
Christy Slusarenko, Vice President Combined Units
Phillip Bargen, Union Representative
