Don’t Miss Out: Bargaining Town Halls Start Next Week
Dear Members,
We are at a pivotal moment in our collective bargaining journey and your participation has never been more important! The upcoming Bargaining Priorities Town Halls are not just another meeting.
Bargaining is not something that happens to you — it happens with you. The proposals we’ve built are rooted in the feedback you provided through the bargaining survey, and now is the time to see the results and understand the direction we are taking to the table. Your engagement and presence give your Bargaining Committee the strength and mandate we need to fight for what matters most.
Registration & Attendance Details
Pre-registration is strongly encouraged so we can reserve enough space for everyone. Please register here: wjcomponent.ca/bargaining-townhalls
Registration will also be available at the door, but pre-registration helps us plan accurately.
If you’re attending while on duty, uniforms are welcome. Otherwise, regular clothes appropriate for work (business casual) are acceptable.
Why attend in person?
See how your input shaped the bargaining proposals
Hear directly from your Bargaining Committee about strategy and priorities
Ask questions in a safe, closed-door environment where you can speak freely
Stand with fellow members and demonstrate our collective power
Why closed meetings?
In bargaining, strategy is everything. To protect our collective interests, there will be no recording or streaming permitted. Information that reaches the Company prematurely could weaken our position at the table. This closed format not only safeguards our strategy it ensures that you can speak freely without concern that your comments will leave the room.
Can’t attend?
We know not everyone can join due to scheduling constraints. A high-level summary of the discussions will be shared afterward. However, the full context, strategy, and discussion only happen in person.
Town Hall Schedule:
September 9 – Edmonton
September 10 – Vancouver

September 13 – Montreal
September 14 – Toronto
September 15 – Winnipeg
