Along with suggested revisions to the Collective Agreement, we received a number of responses suggesting it would be beneficial to have a membership meeting to describe the process leading up to and through negotiation of a new Collective Agreement. Such a meeting will provide an opportunity for dialogue among members and between members and the MUNFA Executive. We have therefore scheduled an Information Meeting for April 9th, 2009. The time and place are as follows:
Information Meeting for MUNFA Bargaining Unit Members April 9, 2009
3:00 – 5:00 PM
Room IIC-2001, INCO Lecture Theatre (St. John’s Campus) Room AS-375 (Sir Wilfred Grenfell College Campus)
