We have served notice to bargain for the Purchasing and Supply (PG) Group. We have held one meeting with those members of the groups that had expressed a willingness to serve on the bargaining committee. Since only two members came forward, they will serve as joint chairpersons. The joint chairpersons are Gerry Kennedy (gerry.kennedy@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca) and Diane Gaudette (diane.gaudette@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 chairpersons. These comments and suggestions will form part of the demand setting process.
