Zellers Negotiations Resume In May

Negotiations with Zellers Brentwood (Burnaby) began on March 7, and continued for five sessions.

So far, the Union Negotiating Committee presented union members’ proposals, and has received the employer’s demands. There has been some discussion on the proposals, and the union spent time exploring benefits and asking the company to provide information on what HBC currently provides.

There are several important issues that need to be addressed, including monetary items, as well as scheduling issues and improving the work environment for members. Negotiations are set to resume May 13th, May 21st and May 22nd, 2008.
