The merging of the Memorandum of Agreement document and the expired collective agreement is what will form the new collective agreement document. 
Although that work has begun, it will take some time to finish. 

Once errors and omissions are reviewed, the New Agreement will need to be formatted and cross referenced with the table of contents.  This draft will then be forwarded to the Company for their verification process.  Once verified the draft will be finalized and then it is off to the printers for publishing.  The verified draft will be made available on our website prior to printing.

We anticipate this process to be completed by early September.

Please keep in mind that although the document is not finalized, the agreed upon items are in effect.

We will continue to post updates as we have them.
