The Bargaining Priorities Survey for the upcoming round of negotiations is now live and awaiting your responses.

We strongly encourage all members to fill out the survey in either English or French. All responses will be used to set the demands for this round of negotiations. It is important that you and your coworkers identify your needs and priorities for strong and representative negotiations. Please check your McGill inbox for links to the survey.

The survey takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete and aims to ask about all facets of the Collective Agreement. You can start the survey, save your results and finish it later. However please submit it by Monday, February 5th, 2024 when the Negotiations Committee will begin compiling responses.

The results will be presented for review and approval to the membership in a Special General Meeting in the coming weeks. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to send them to negotiations@munaca.com

In solidarity,
The MUNACA Negotiations Committee

Alex Abruzzese-Goyette, Thomas Chalmers, Sherrie Child, Sophie Hough-Martin, David Roseman, Robin Stanford.
