USW and city to meet again in mediation
After not coming to a new agreement in mediation July 11-12, the United Steel Workers Local 1-405 (USW) and the City of Kimberley have agreed to meet again July 27.
Both the USW and the city are attempting to reach an Essential Services agreement in the event of a work stoppage and have not been able to agree on the levels needed.
The city asked that the mediator get back involved to issue an order on the Essential Service levels and at the same time, to have the mediator come back to take an attempt at a mediated settlement to reach a collective agreement.
The union agreed to meet and hopes that the city will return to mediation with a fresh look and no concessions, the USW pointed out in a news release.
The Bargaining Committee will have updates for the membership once the mediation process has completed.
At the negotiating table for the membership are Grant Farquhar (Committee Chair), Alison Lafortune, Dave (Red) Oscarson, Ilo Van Gilder and Duane Hunt along with Jeff Bromley, Business Agent/Financial Secretary of Local 1-405 and lead negotiator. Grant MacArthur is mediator.
