Unit 5

Prior to each round of Collective Agreement negotiations, the Local reaches out to the membership of the unit with a survey. Your responses are what the bargaining committee uses to formulate their bargaining priorities. It is important that you complete the survey to ensure the bargaining team is negotiating the interests of the membership.  The local has added a languages feature to the website for you to translate the survey into a language of your choice. If the language you need is not listed on the website please email info@unifor5555.ca. : 

Note: Paper copies of this survey will be available starting Thursday August 21 on the Union board outside of GH B111. Please reach out to Joanna Rodziewicz  at joanna.rodziewicz@unifor5555.ca if you would like a paper copy of the survey. Once completed, the survey can be dropped in the GH B111 mailbox outside of the office. 

The survey is open now and will close on October 6, 2025.

To begin, please tell us your top 3 priorities for bargaining in order of importance (#1 being the most important). For example: wage increases, dental benefits improvements, paramedical benefit improvements, sick time program improvements, etc.
