The Industry-Union Standing Committee (IUSC) is intended to provide for a time between bargaining periods for the parties to discuss outstanding claims and issues under the CBA. Similarly, the Joint Commercial Review Committee (JCRC) is intended to be a time for the bargaining parties to discuss claims relating to content that the union believes to be a “commercial.” The next IUSC and JCRC meetings are scheduled for November. If you or your client has an ongoing claim that you would like to be considered for discussion at the meetings, please send a copy of the claim with a detailed explanation to JPC Director of Industry Relations, Kim Stevens. Please note, although the JPC will review each claim received, only some claims (if any) will be selected for discussion during the meetings. As always, the JPC will treat all claims it receives as strictly confidential. Contact Kim Stevens with any questions.
