Not just another survey!

CAW Local 2002 Jazz members’ current collective bargaining agreement expires January 13, 2013. Our collective agreement defines the rules under which we work each day. Take the time to think what you would like to change or enhance in your working conditions in order to improve the way you make a living. What progressive changes do you feel could improve these conditions? It is important for CAW members to be involved in bargaining. Their participation in the democratic structure of bargaining is crucial to our progress. Soon you will receive the opportunity to make your voice heard and to prioritize your proposals. This will be achieved by a twostep process, beginning with a survey and followed by base proposal meetings Your participation in both events will be the key to a successful contract.

So, why bother? Is anybody even listening? Your elected Bargaining Committee is! We’re all busy and while it may be tempting to just toss the survey aside, please take the time to consider what you want out of your new contract. Fill out the attached survey, select your top five "needs" and fax toll free to: (866) 635 5956. The survey is also available online at caw2002tca.ca to fill in   and submit electronically.

Proposal meetings* will be held with the membership to discuss the results of the surveys. This is an opportunity for the membership to present, debate and vote on their proposals.

* Surveys must be completed & returned by 23:59 August 24.

* Proposal dates, venues & times to be announced.

By attending the meetings you will ensure that your voice is heard, and the new contract becomes your contract.

We’re counting on you! • Participate! Send a clear message to management that your contract matters • Pay close attention to what happens at the bargaining table • Your support makes the difference in achieving a strong contract • Subscribe to Local 2002 e-news @ caw2002tca.ca • Wear your FAIR DEAL bracelet as a show of support and solidarity
