TSSU is happy to report that today after a tough morning of negotiations with the Employer, we have signed off on the first significant article in this round of bargaining. After TSSU’s representative repeatedly explained our stance on the significance of seniority rights for ELC/ITP workers, the Employer’s bargaining team reassessed their concessionary position and agreed with a TSSU proposal. ELC/ITP workers will be able to access seniority starting after their 9th week, as opposed to the 13th week in our previous Collective Agreement. Signing off on this issue represents the first substantive change in the Employer’s stance. TSSU sees this as evidence of the success of our members’ job actions in putting increased pressure on the Employer.
