Bargaining update: CUPE 951 members ratify new collective agreement.

Dear Members,

We are pleased to report that you have voted 96.1% in favour of ratifying our new collective agreement with the employer.

The continued engagement, support and solidarity of CUPE 951 members over the past 7 months of bargaining is what made this agreement possible. This was a collective effort across our local.

I want to thank the entire negotiations committee for their hard work and dedication during this challenging round of bargaining. By working together and supporting each other, we achieved concrete improvements with a fair deal that we can all be proud of.

The employer expects to have their ratification process completed by next week. CUPE 951 will be in touch with more information on implementing new provisions and retro pay once we work out the details with the employer.


In Solidarity,

Kirk Mercer, President, and your CUPE 951 negotiations committee

Negotiating Committee Members and Alternates: Stephen Leckie, Amy Issel, Page DeWolfe, Teresa Dixon, Laurie Whyte, Kara White, Michael Rheault, Sarah Rowland
