(Sudbury – 12 September 2017) As we have reported to you, we have had an extremely difficult time getting the employer to agree to negotiations, that is, to \u201cCome to the Table.\u201d We were able to coax a few dates out of them thanks to mounting public pressure. In light of that, LUFA took the initiative and booked Friday, Sept. 15, for mediation talks with Mr. William Kaplan. As you may know, Mr. Kaplan has been instrumental in helping the parties in the past. We have booked the hotel room and Mr. Kaplan\u2019s time, and importantly, we have invited the employer\u2014 to come to the table. Last night their Chief Negotiator informed us via email that in fact they would not be in attendance with us on Friday, even though he had earlier indicated that the date was available to them. Despite the administration’s seeming indifference, our team remains ready and willing to negotiate.<\/p>\n
