Montreal Distribution Centre employees’ strike over pay and benefits

Prepare an opening statement that you, as a chief spokesperson for management, represent the Montreal Distribution Centre (mentioned in the second Sobeys article entitled “Sobeys employees go on strike over pay and benefits”).

Imagine that a government mediator has invited you to sit down with the Union and resume talks based on what has happened. In your statement, be sure to mention which party you represent and the current state of the relationship between the two parties. The importance of the role of other stakeholders (employees, customers, suppliers). Your expectations about the agenda for the meeting. Make specific reference to the article you analyzed in Q1 and discuss why it is important to reach a new agreement.

Refer to the document entitled “Excerpts from the Sobeys UNIFOR Collective Agreement Expires February 28, 2022” and to the table entitled “HRM845 Collective Bargaining & Negotiation Assignment – Article and Section Allocation.”
