Both Agreements expire on April 24, 2011 and the bargaining committee would like hear from members on any concerns you may have as well as any ideas about how to improve our current agreements.

2 – The aptn Branch Executive is looking for more member participation to improve the lines of communication across the country between the membership and the executive, and to make our Guild more effective. The aptn Executive would like to have a Steward from each bureau and will discuss this in more detail at the meeting.
