FCL welcomes special mediator, real bargaining

February 12, 2020

Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL) is pleased with Premier Moe’s appointment of Vince Ready as the special mediator for bargaining on the Co-op Refinery Complex (CRC) collective agreement with Unifor 594.

Since the Premier’s first offer of a special mediator, we have welcomed this appointment and the opportunity to have productive bargaining. We look forward to meaningful discussions with Mr. Ready that lead to a long-term, sustainable agreement that works for both parties.

In the interim, FCL will not be bargaining in the media or making further statements on bargaining. We will leave these discussions for the special mediator and bargaining table.
