NEGOTIATING NEWS #7

The Negotiating Committee is pleased to report that on 4 June the MUNFA Chief Negotiator, Dr Jon Church, shook hands with Dr Jack Strawbridge to signal an agreement on the six articles that had been under discussion since 7 October 2002.

Since then both Negotiating Committees have prepared copies of the agreed articles for joint signing. This took place when the parties met on 18 June. The MUNFA Negotiating Committee is now recommending the new Collective Agreement to the MUNFA Executive.

The MUNFA Executive will arrange to have packages of the new articles printed and delivered to Bargaining Unit members, following which an information meeting will be held prior to a ratification vote organized by the Nominating and Balloting Committee.
