General Committee of Adjustment CP West
As
we have previously indicated, your negotiating committee thanks every
member who recently voted and provided a strike mandate and the ongoing
support. During our session today, the bargaining committee exercised
our rights and issued notice of strike to be effective 0001 (EST) April
21, 2018. Attached is our correspondence with the Company and the
Minister regarding the notice. We will continue to meet with CP bargaining committee today, with
plans to continue through to the deadline. We will be providing updates
as we receive confirmation on each issue to ensure that each of you are
aware of what our rights are and what to expect if our negotiations fail
and a strike is necessary.
The bargaining committee remains
solid, united and strong in their conviction to obtain a negotiated
settlement in which the membership will support through ratification.
We will continue in our attempt to arrive at a negotiated
settlement and will keep you informed on any further developments.
In Solidarity,
Greg Edwards
