Local 17 (Discovery) Co-op collective agreement bargaining – notice to bargain has been served

August 2025

The employer has been served with our Notice to Bargain, officially signaling the union’s intent to negotiate a renewed collective agreement.

With the current collective agreement between GSU Local 17 and Discovery Co-op set to expire on October 31, 2025. In preparation, Local 17 members are working on their bargaining proposals with support from GSU staff rep Brian Lark, who is helping fine-tune ideas and assemble a comprehensive bargaining package.

The current agreement will remain in effect until a new agreement is ratified by members.

Updates will be shared directly with members and posted online as preparations continue. As always, member involvement and input will be key to shaping a strong, responsive new contract.
