A bargaining report has been sent to your bargaining committee members.

Bargaining package has been prepared; first bargaining session with company set to begin Oct. 27-29
Oct. 16, 2026
The GSU bargaining committee met on Oct. 15 and prepared the union’s bargaining package using the valuable feedback members provided in their September 2026 bargaining surveys. If you asked to talk with a committee member in your survey, expect outreach before bargaining begins on Oct. 27.
While regular bargaining updates will be provided to union members, the specific contents of both the union and company bargaining packages will remain confidential. The bargaining process operates confidentially between the parties until a settlement or impasse is reached.
This confidential process is precisely why GSU members elect peers they know and trust to represent them on the bargaining committee—ensuring your interests are strongly and faithfully advocated for throughout negotiations.
Local 1 (Bunge Operations & Maintenance) and Local 2 (Bunge Office) bargaining committee members will meet Oct. 15 to review survey results; bargaining tentatively set for Oct. 27-29, 2026
Oct. 2, 2026
The September 30 deadline for the Local 1 and 2 bargaining surveys has now passed. Thank you to everyone who took the time to participate and share their workplace priorities. Strong member engagement gives our committee the necessary leverage to advocate effectively for meaningful changes to our collective agreement.
Looking ahead, the Local 1 and 2 bargaining committees will meet in person on October 15 to review the complete survey results. Between October 15 and October 27, they will follow up directly with those who requested contact on their survey submissions.
Following these internal reviews and outreach, the committee is tentatively scheduled to meet with company representatives for bargaining sessions on October 27, 28, and 29.
