Local 592 will be holding a vote to give our wage delegates a strike mandate. Two special meetings will be held on Wednesday May 30th, at 2pm and 7:30 pm. Voting will be held at each meeting.
Ongoing contract negotiations have reached an impasse, with no further negotiating dates set. The Catalyst Locals wage delegates have decided to move to the next step.

2017 Bargaining Approaching
Brothers and Sisters,
It's a been a tough year in the Mill. Local 592 is being challenged on all sides. On the shop floor, everyone wants to know- "What's happening with the new contract?"
The good news: Most of the other Unifor and PPWC Locals in the pulp and paper industry around the province have already accepted the Pattern Agreement, or at least agreed to it in principle.
More good news: Thanks to the hard work of our Wage Delegates, we are in an excellent bargaining position. We have strong ties, close communication, and solidarity with the other Catalyst Locals- both Unifor and PPWC- and some very experienced negotiators on our side. It's time for us- all the Mills, every Member- to stand together, and demand that we be treated fairly.
It was great to see so many of you at the last General Meeting, and I hope to see even more of you for the next meeting on October 18. 7pm at the Hansen Hall- be there!

December Events
Hello Brothers and Sisters,
Just so that everyone is aware, the re-vote for President will take place at the Mill Gates on Dec 9, 14, 15. This a bit rushed, but the best we could do to allow each crew a chance to vote.
Because of the additional voting, the General Meeting has been moved to Friday, December 16th, 7:00pm, to allow for swearing-in of officers. The annual Union social will be held immediately afterward. Please mark your calendars!
The December Forward Look (minus the signatures on the cover) is now online.
