A negotiating committee representing members from all areas of Pacific Newspaper Group has been formed and recently met to discuss our bargaining program with the company over the next few months.
We hope to begin discussions with the company shortly.
As we all know, the negotiations come at an interesting time, given changes in the industry and the company. Postmedia emerged from creditor protection process and is likely to change hands again in the next little while.
But as always, a positive approach and a unified membership will provide the best opportunity for a successful outcome.
Here are the members of your committee:
Granville Square:
Advertising: Brian Gibson, Robyn McLean
IT/Library: Garth Oswald
Photographers: Gerry Kahrmann
Province Editorial: Jennifer Saltman
RS&S/Business Office/Marketing: Jim Lepper
Sun Editorial: Peter Gibson
Kennedy Heights:
Electricians: Steve Lopuch
Machinists: Rod Griffiths
Mailroom: Mike Irving, Dave Letson
Pre-press: Larry Hatch
Pressroom: Conrad Fischer, Ram Putra
Officers: Mike Bocking, Gary Engler and Andrea MacBride
Please continue to check our website (www.mediaunion.ca) for updates, or contact the bargaining representative for your area.
