IAMAW Local 99 \ Kal-Tire Negotiations Update

Update submitted by Jim Haywood.

On February 20th & 21st the we met with Kal Tire to start our negotiations. Kal Tire Committee is Lorne Nakonechy, Justin Varney, and Andrew Bolton.
We exchanged proposals in the morning and went over some of the items on both of our proposals.
Didn't get too much done the first day as things got a little heated. At the end of the day cooler heads prevailed and we all left the room on a positive note.
Day two was a lot better and a few things were agreed upon ( small issues ). It was a good solid productive day with each side knowing where the other side stands.
Next meeting is scheduled for Ft. McMurray on March 3rd & 4th.
