The APTN branch of the CMG has selected four members to form the bargaining committee that will negotiate the new collective agreement for all mambers at APTN. The members are:

Bruce Spence and Shirley Mclean (Update: replaces Kent Driscoll) – Editorial Unit
Derek Christianson and Vincent Proteau – Operations Unit

The committee has two members with experience on a previous bargaining committee (Bruce and Derek) and two members who are new to the process (Shirley and Vincent).

Right now, there are two collective agreements at APTN: one for members in editorial and one for members in operations. The union and management both agreed it would be a good idea to merge the two units and have a single collective agreement. The Canada Industrial Relations Board approved the plan earlier this year.

The committee welcomes your ideas and suggestions for bargaining. You can send an email to cmgaptn@gmail.com or talk to one of the members of the bargaining committee directly.
