Role in Bargaining

Ongoing two-way communications between the Bargaining Committee
and the members is an important factor which helps us in our efforts to
negotiate a good Collective Agreement. Every CEP member has three main roles
throughout bargaining:
- Keep on top
of the issues and events as they unfold and tell your Union Steward,
Local Officers and Bargaining Reps exactly how you feel on specific
issues. Sound judgment at the bargaining table is based on what you tell
us.
- Remember
that the Collective Agreement and negotiations are your business.
Management may try and feel you out on issues and attitudes about
negotiations. They have no business asking. We need you to stand behind
the Bargaining Committee. Collective Bargaining means that we, as
workers, negotiate as a group and through that process we are able to
achieve a settlement according to our “collective” strength.
- Most
importantly, you have the final say on your new contract. Your
Bargaining Committee will make a recommendation of acceptance or
rejection but only you will ultimately decide, through a secret ballot,
what is in your best interest.
