In preparation for the upcoming round of bargaining, the AOTL Collective Bargaining Committee is asking members to complete a short survey which will assist us in drafting improvements to our collective agreement. Your input is very important.
The survey contains 11 questions and should take approximately 7-8 minutes to complete.
There are prizes to be won!
BONUS! Complete the survey by Tuesday, May 31 at 5:00 p.m. and you’ll be entered into the draws for ALL THREE prizes!
The survey is now closed.
Please don’t hesitate to contact the Local office if you have any questions or other suggestions for the upcoming round of negotiations.

It’s not too late to participate in ETFO’s online bargaining survey.
ETFO is engaging in an extensive surveying process to prepare for the 2022 round of central bargaining. We are asking our members to participate in an online survey and provide us with their bargaining priorities for 2022.
ETFO has extended the deadline to complete the online survey to 11:59 pm on Sunday, November 7, 2021.
ETFO collective agreements expire as of August 31, 2022. While that may seem like a long time away, your union has already begun to prepare for the next round of central bargaining.
The goal-setting process is now actively underway. Around October 6, you should have received an email with a link to the online member survey. Please take the time to complete this important step in the collective bargaining process.
