The notice to bargain for the public service was filed on July 8. The public service committee will meet July 25 and 26 to review the draft proposals; the NAV CANADA committee will follow suit in early August. The Board of Directors thanks all the members who volunteered and those who submitted proposals. The passion and professionalism of the FI Community is readily apparent.
