Finning’s Proposal Package

Your Bargaining Committee has spent the last week reviewing Finning’s proposal package as well as discussing some of the items that Finning has prioritized. We sat down to discuss several outstanding issues with Finning concerning the closing of facilities, lay offs and contracting out work.

In their proposal package, Finning has prioritized their major issues as monetary or cost savings as well as flexibility of shifts. The link to the summary is here:

Finning has already agreed to some of the Union’s proposals, and has withdrawn some of their proposals. The committees are scheduled to meet again on April 5th to continue discussions.

In these challenging economic times we are working hard to minimize the concessions to our collective agreement and bargaining unit. Bargaining is an in-depth process and where the final package ends up is variable. Your bargaining Committee needs your solidarity and support in these difficult times
