We are currently in an active labour shortage. The job opportunities are prevalent and we need to concentrate on attracting the critical workforce we need for our economy to thrive by creating an affordable, accountable, and advocacy-based city that is reflected in our workplaces.
It is my understanding through consultation with union members that while there is something to be desired in the current culture of the city's employees and the union has a desire for stronger communication with council in order to rectify it, a strong and satisfactory collective agreement is in place.
