Your bargaining committee met with TVO management this week, and we made some progress on non-monetary issues with the Authority signing off on language that we had proposed. As a result, we now have agreement on shortening the probation period, and we gained some clarification around the process for members getting feedback on their application when not interviewed for a position.

We are cautiously optimistic that bargaining will proceed in a similar fashion. We are planning a few more days of negotiation in late October to clear non-monetary issues and to start delving into monetary matters. At that time, we will hold a membership meeting to seek direction from you.

In the meantime, you can contact any of us on the bargaining team with questions. We’ll continue to keep you informed of any developments.

Your bargaining committee:
