Dec. 20 has been set to resume negotiations between the GSU Local 7 (Heartland Livestock Services/Northern Livestock Sales) bargaining committee and their management counterparts. This will be the second bargaining meeting for the parties.

The union committee had hoped for an earlier resumption of negotiations and they are ready to continue addressing the significant gap in monetary and non-monetary issues between the parties.

GSU Local 7 (Heartland Livestock/Northern Livestock Sales) bargaining now underway

Posted Nov. 1, 2022

Bargaining got underway on Oct. 28 in Regina. The two sides will meet again Nov. 4 and the additional bargaining date of Nov. 18 has been tentatively scheduled to meet, if required.

“We are taking a practical and fair approach to improvements to your collective agreement and workplace by stating clearly what Local 7 members want and what we believe is reasonable,” said GSU staff rep and union bargaining committee spokesperson Mason Van Luven. “We’re backing that up by providing examples of workplace experiences from our Local 7 members.”

Bargaining proposals, a web page password and additional information were sent to Local 7 members by email on Oct. 31. You can learn more on GSU’s web page under the BARGAINING menu tab at the top of the page.
