Teranet - Locals 397 and 399 - Bargaining Brief

Updated: Jan 30, 2023
Approx. Number of Members: 74
Current Contract Expires: March 24, 2022
MGEU Staff Negotiator: Wesley Whiteside
Elected Bargaining Committee Members: Pierre Krahn (Local 399 – President); Sherlyn Weselak (Local 397 - President); Stacy Gosman (Local 399 – Chief Steward); Curtis Christianson (Local 399 – Vice President)

LATEST BARGAINING NEWS

After members voted to reject the employer's offer, the Teranet - Locals 397 and 399 Bargaining Committee submitted a counter-proposal for the employer’s further consideration.
They met with the employer on December 6, 9, and 16 and continued to advocate for the membership and seek fair and reasonable wage increases.

Unfortunately, the employer would not change their position in any meaningful way from the settlement position that was overwhelmingly rejected by Local 397 and 399 members in November.

The Committee remains prepared to get back to the bargaining table, but as of yet, no negotiations are scheduled for 2023. Stay tuned for more updates.

Overview of Bargaining So Far

The Teranet - Locals 397 and 399 Bargaining Committee began negotiations with the employer re: non-monetary items like contract language and working conditions on June 23, 2022 and continued on June 24, 27, 28 and 29, 2022. 

With non-monetary discussions concluded, bargaining dates to discuss monetary proposals, such as wages and benefits, were scheduled for August 17, 18 and 19, 2022.

However, it was clear after the first day of talks that the employer’s funding mandate was not adequate to meet the Committee's request for reasonable general wage increases. In the end, both parties decided there was no point in continuing until the employer sought a more appropriate funding mandate from the Board of Directors. 

The Bargaining Committee for Teranet Locals 397 and 399 received a settlement offer from the employer on October 27, 2022 and organized a ratification vote for November 9, 2022, with a recommendation of "rejection." Local 397/399 members responded by voting overwhelmingly to reject the offer.
