Bargaining Up-Date: Ian Shaw
Ian Shaw, CSC SH Representative for the Pacific Region gave an up date on bargaining. Many SH members were disappointed during the last contract. The contract was settled with very little in the way of benefits to the SH Pacific groups. This was due mainly to the CSC Pacific Region position on the bargaining team being vacant during this round of negotiations and contract settlement. Ian has since moved into this position to fight for the contractual rights of the membership. Moving forward on the next contract, his plan to is to fight for Living Allowances in BC to help off set the high cost of living in this province. He also encourages the membership to approach/contact him with ideas and feedback for bargaining.
