Unifor attains settlement on VIA Rail’s concessions – Bargaining moves to economic demands
January 26, 2021

Picture
Members,

VIA Rail has agreed to move off their concessionary demands tabled against Council 4000 for the duration of the new collective agreement that we are presently bargaining. The parties reached an agreement to continue discussions during a closed period between April 1 and June 30, 2021 over disagreements on the application of the Supplemental Agreement relative to part-time and seasonal employees. These talks will be conducted with the assistance of Federal Mediation and Conciliation Services.

The Union will now turn its attention to our economic proposals for both Council 4000 and Local 100.  Negotiations will continue on Wednesday, January 27th at the earliest. We will provide additional updates by the end of next week.

We ask members not to listen to rumours that may be circulating on the bargaining process.  All information, potential actions or decisions the Union may take will be released by the Union at the necessary time on RailLine and Unifor’s national website, including council4000.com.

In Solidarity,

Council 4000 and Local 100 Bargaining Committees
