The Chair said staff are primarily worried about rising health care benefit costs and that salary negotiations have not yet begun because of a delay in federal budget adoption.
"After our rep council meeting today, the biggest concerns, of course, on staff's minds are the health care benefit increases and, that we haven't started negotiating for salary," the Chair said, adding that the pause is connected to the delay in federal budget adoption. The Chair said staff are "looking forward to seeing what negotiations will bring for salary increases."
The update did not include any motions, votes or a timeline for bargaining. The Chair reiterated that the delay in the federal budget adoption has slowed start of salary talks but said the group expects negotiations to proceed once budget clarity is available. The exchange concluded with an invitation for questions and no formal action taken.
No specific dollar amounts, bargaining proposals or negotiation dates were provided during the remarks; those details were described as pending and dependent on federal budget outcomes.
