We will be serving notice to bargain for the Operational Category (OP). We have held two meetings with those members of the groups that had expressed a willingness to serve on the bargaining committee. From these meetings, a group chairperson was acclaimed by the participating members. The group chairperson is Peter Sullivan (pete.sullivan@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca). All group members are welcome to forward comments and/or suggestions regarding changes to the collective agreements to the RCEA office (office@rcea.ca) or the group chairperson. These comments and suggestions will form part of the demand setting process.
