Staying in the know before and during negotiations is very important for MGEU members. Here, members will find bargaining publications for larger Locals and Components in negotiations as well as weekly bargaining briefs posted for all Locals currently at the table.
At key times in negotiations the union sends important updates to members through the mail, in e-mails and over the phone. Even if you think the union already has your contact information on file, some key details could be missing so it’s always a good idea to send us your up-to-date contact information.
It’s also a good idea to clean out your e-mail inbox periodically to keep important e-mails from getting bounced when it’s full.
Keep in mind, the employer does not automatically send all of your contact information to the MGEU. The only way the union can keep members apprised of the latest developments is by communicating to members using the contact information YOU submit to the MGEU.
Read the How Bargaining Works page for a quick refresher on the negotiation process.
If you're looking for more specific information about negotiations that you don’t see in this section, contact a member of your Local Bargaining Committee through the MGEU Resource Centre.
