Majority Votes in Favor!

Thrilling news has just emerged: an overwhelming majority of GSBC members have rallied together to approve the new tentative collective agreement! In a decisive show of support, 63.5% voted in favor, while only 36.5% opposed it, with a remarkable 71% of eligible members casting their votes.

A Journey of Resilience

This victory comes after a long and challenging 20-month journey. It wasn't easy, requiring the intervention of two mediators to finally reach an agreement worthy of your vote. The determination and solidarity the membership displayed throughout this process are truly commendable.

What’s Next?

Under the new agreement, you can expect all retroactive pay to be fulfilled within 90 days. Stay tuned for further details on the implementation and what this means for you.

Thank You for Your Support!

A heartfelt thank you goes out to each and every member for their incredible patience and unwavering dedication during these negotiations. Your commitment has made this milestone possible!
