GSU Local 4 members voted on Nov. 13 and 14, with 72% voting in favour of accepting the company’s Final Offer presented on October 24, 2025.

With ratification confirmed, implementation of the new collective agreement will begin immediately. Based on past practice, members can expect retro pay to appear on their paycheques within the month. GSU will share the exact payment date as soon as the company confirms it.

Work will now begin to incorporate the terms of the Final Offer into the renewed collective agreement and provide booklets to all Local 4 members. In the meantime, the bargaining committee encourages members to review the Final Offer to understand the changes and how they may affect them.

“Thank you to everyone who participated in the bargaining process, the Final Offer ratification meeting and the vote,” said GSU general secretary and bargaining spokesperson Steve Torgerson. “As always is the case, member feedback and engagement helped GSU’s bargaining committee carry out its mandate.”
