After a number of proposal meetings in the winter and spring of 2022, plans were made to negotiate the Métis, Michif, and Métis Authority contracts together. However, there were no elected activists from Métis CFS, which delayed the start of negotiations.
In late May 2022, a new Métis CFS executive was elected. The combined Michif CFS - Locals 384, 385,422, Métis CFS - Local 383, Métis CFS Authority - Local 394 Bargaining Committee is now
finalizing the proposal package to present to the employers.
