Highlights of the agreement are outlined below. From the beginning, our goal was to negotiate a collective agreement that properly recognizes our role as important members of the Bell Canada family. We wanted a new collective agreement that fairly compensates us for our work, respects our seniority rights, allows access to good benefits for all members, provides adequate vacation and leisure time, and allows us to prepare for our eventual retirements. In the end, after much effort, we feel that we have met most of our important goals. While we didn’t obtain everything that we wanted, we got most of what we needed. And we didn’t have to give up anything of significance in return. The bargaining committee feels this agreement deserves to be accepted, and are recommending that members vote in favour of its ratification. Thank you for your support.
