Bargaining Committee Structure
Several committees have been formed to help prepare for bargaining. These committees will support and provide feedback to and from the Bargaining Team, and will work interactively to plan events, provide information to members, and develop research in support of bargaining. Chairpersons of the committees meet every two weeks to coordinate this work. The diagram below illustrates the relationship between the Bargaining Team and the Bargaining Committee.

• Fill out the upcoming Bargaining Goals and Priorities survey.
  The information you provide will help the Team focus efforts on negotiating the workplace issues most important to you.
• Join one of the Bargaining Committees, particularly the Organizing Committee. 
  The Organizing Committee will plan activities for uniting around bargaining goals. Contact your shop steward to join up.
• Attend upcoming meetings or rallies about the contract.
• Get involved!
  Bargaining a new contract is never easy but in today’s climate of uncertainty and cutbacks it’s particularly challenging. Let's be prepared to provide mutual support and encouragement to our colleagues during Bargaining 2012. A united and active membership is the key to obtaining a good contract.
