The members have spoken; Parks Canada employees have voted in favour of the tentative agreement that was presented to them.<\/p>\n
Over the past few months, we\u2019ve reported a few times on the collective bargaining process, the tentative agreement<\/a> and the hard work of the bargaining team<\/a>.<\/p>\n For Loretta Moar, a first-time member on the bargaining team, yesterday\u2019s announcement was very happy news.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen the announcement was made, I danced around my living room,\u201d admitted Moar. \u201cThis is great. I\u2019m glad the membership chose to ratify the agreement.\u201d<\/p>\n The bargaining team\u2019s hard work cannot be overlooked. They spent countless hours on the road, away from home, going from one Local to another to meet with members.<\/p>\n And while the traveling can be tiresome, Moar says it\u2019s not all bad.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was nice to meet all the members in my region!\u201d<\/p>\n National Executive Vice-President Eddie Kennedy, who also works for the agency, says he\u2019s very happy with the results and wished to extend his congratulations.<\/p>\n \u201cThe bargaining team worked extremely hard to ensure we got the best deal possible, given these uncertain economic times,\u201d said Kennedy.<\/p>\n And for those of you who are curious about Mike LeBlanc\u2019s cat<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s very happy that her daddy is home and was super glad that the collective agreement has been ratified,\u201d said LeBlanc. \u201cIt means daddy will be home more.\u00a0Her tail is up and she is purring!\u201d<\/p>\n Congratulations to our members \u2013 and here\u2019s to the bargaining team getting some much deserved rest!<\/p>\n To find out more about the new collective agreement, click here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The members have spoken; Parks Canada employees have voted in favour of the tentative agreement that was presented to them.
