I am pleased to advise that the amendments to Appendix L (Promotions) was ratified over the course of two meetings, last night at 7pm and again this morning at 9am.
I want to thank everyone who came out to hear the presentation and cast their vote.
This new language will be inserted into the next Collective Agreement when it is either freely negotiated or arbitrated. It is effective immediately and will guide all future promotional processes.

Brothers and Sisters,
This is a reminder of the upcoming Special Meeting being held on:
Tuesday, April 22 at 1900 hrs
AND
Wednesday, April 23 at 0900 hrs
Location:
Hansa House
6650 Hurontario Street
Mississauga
At this meeting, members will be voting solely on the one-year final wage adjustment for 2024.
While discussions regarding amendments to Appendix L – Promotional Policy continue and we believe we are close to reaching an agreement, the City has not yet solidified the deal. As a result, there will be no vote on Appendix L at this time.
Should we reach a finalized agreement on the proposed changes to Appendix L, we will schedule a separate ratification meeting to present those terms for your consideration and vote.
We appreciate your continued engagement and encourage all members to attend and participate in this important wage adjustment vote.
In solidarity,
Tanner Bullock
Secretary
