Collective Bargaining Update #20

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

The Bargaining Committee has scheduled an in-person information session to present the Employer’s latest proposal, provide members with an opportunity to ask questions, discuss the proposal, and seek a mandate from the membership by majority vote.

The meeting will be held:

                                Tuesday, July 21, 2026

                                7:00 PM to 10:00 PM

                                4333 Ledger Avenue, Burnaby, BC V5G 3T3

The purpose of this session is to maximize member participation and ensure that members have a meaningful opportunity for their voices to be heard before the Bargaining Committee makes a significant strategic decision. While a membership vote is not legally required in these circumstances, the Committee will be guided by the majority-vote mandate of the membership on how to proceed. The results of the vote will be counted and communicated to members as soon as possible.

In solidarity,

GVRDEU Bargaining Committee
