On Wednesday, January 31, 2024, the Association officially provided a Notice to Commence Collective Bargaining. This notification marks the start of the bargaining process. The Association is now at Stage 2: Interest Exchange. According to the Collective Bargaining Index Levels, Stage 2 indicates that the MRFA and the Board of Governors (BoG) have exchanged letters expressing their intention to open the Collective Agreement and both parties will soon exchange their respective interests.

Note: No job action is contemplated during this stage.

The Collective Bargaining Caucus is finalizing its examination of comparable institutions and defining the Association's desired outcomes. This crucial step lays the groundwork for constructive negotiations that align with our collective goals.
