August 15, 2022 - Sisters and Brothers: This letter is further to our bulletin of March 22, 2022, with respect to our binding arbitration/mediation process that was conducted beginning August 12, 2022 and ending with today’s award issued by Arbitrator William Kaplan.
Enclosed with this letter is the award issued by the Arbitrator and the agreed-upon items set out in the Memorandum of Settlement dated March 21, 2022.
We encourage everyone to read both documents. Our Offices will review the award and provide comments to all Local Chairpersons and the membership in the very near future.
We would like to thank all TCRC members, The TCRC National Office, and
others throughout Teamsters Canada for the continued support you have
shown us. We would like to thank Michael Church, Maeve Biggar, and Ken
Stuebing our legal counsel throughout this process. Additionally, we
