Many of you are aware that the Employer unilaterally decided to exclude Regional Representatives in the field who do negotiations from an upcoming training opportunity. A Negotiations Meeting will still take place November 1-4, 2011 but no Regional Representatives who handle negotiations in the field will be present. Only Regional/National Negotiators, research officers and admin staff will be offered the training.
The CULE Executive discussed this issue on a recent teleconference and struck a sub-committee to put together a response to Sue Jones, Coordinator of Negotiations. Download the committee’s letter here.
