We’ve taken the first step!
We have elected a big, representative TR Bargaining Committee, which is all set for the first round of open bargaining in the history of the federal public service.
This round of bargaining marks a crossroads for our professions, but I am confident we will arrive at the table equipped not only with solid arguments and creative solutions, but also with the collective power TRs have all been building up one conversation at a time.
If you want to support your Bargaining Committee, sign up for the TR Organizing Committee, which will continue to coordinate between the bargaining table and the workplace throughout the bargaining process.
The Bargaining Elections Committee has confirmed the results; without further ado, here is your Bargaining Committee!

TR Vice-President
Congratulations to all the TRs who stepped up to represent their colleagues in this round of bargaining! Our work has only just begun, but with a Bargaining Committee that is unprecedented in scope and with our organizing getting stronger by the day, we have set the stage for a decisive round of bargaining with the potential to transform our lives for the better.
In solidarity,
Antoine Hersberger
