Job Action
PrairieCoast – Job Action Update
May 2, 2023
To: All MoveUP members at PCE
As you know, on Friday your Union served notice on your Employer that job action would begin this week. We have begun with non-adherence to the PrairieCoast uniform policy. We have done so in effort to give your Employer the opportunity to continue to negotiate with the Union while job action commences.
Should this not be successful, a full-scale strike will begin. Your Union has begun to engage the public through social media and a web page (please click here). Members of the public have been invited to leave messages of support for you through the web site, and I urge you to share it with your friends, family and supporters.
In addition, your Union has written to the Chairman of PrairieCoast, urging him to use his influence as Chairman and a shareholder to pressure the General Manager of PrairieCoast to reach a fair and equitable deal with members.
You, the employees, deserve a fair collective agreement. Your Union will continue to fight for you to reach this outcome.
If you have any questions in the meantime, please see your Bargaining Committee members or contact Sara Colliss at scolliss@moveuptogether.ca or 604-837-9471 or Andrew Cheverie at acheverie@moveuptogether.ca or 604-299-0324.
In solidarity,
Your bargaining committee,
