November 10, 2011: A message from Michael Di Grappa, Vice-Principal (Administration and Finance)
We are continuing to talk with the union with the guidance of the conciliator and, as both sides have agreed, we will not discuss the specific content of those negotiations publicly. Since my last message, we met Friday and Monday and are scheduled to meet again tomorrow in exploratory discussions about wages, benefits, pension issues and other matters. Both sides have signalled to the conciliator their willingness to work into the weekend should that be required.
