Update - April 6th, 2011

April 6 saw both negotiating teams meeting so that the Union could share its share thoughts of the Employer's package from the previous day. Some of the topics were the proposal on leave entitlements transferring from day to hours; the NNA Report (on our website)which was created as a product of MOU#9; Relief Workers' entitlements; Casual Workers' entitlements; Term Employees' entitlements; Group 2 (Correctional Workers); Group 3 (College Educators); Group 5 (Healthcare Workers); MOU#8 and Great West Life Insurance programs (Article 37).

As well, we shared that the financial numbers that the Employer had tabled on April 5th (the zero - zero stuff) were not conducive for ratification of a new collective agreement for members of NEU.
