Dear members of CUPE Local,
We left formal mediation today without a tentative agreement, we did not receive a counter to our offer of:
September 1, 2024, $3.50 per hour for each level and classification.
September 1, 2025, $3.50 per hour for each level and classification.
We scheduled another day of Formal Meditation on March 10th and have informed the employer we’re available to meet anytime before that.
Your bargaining committee has received a powerful strike mandate from the membership, this is why we have started arranging essential STRATEGIC PLANNING for this weekend.
If you signed up to volunteer, be prepared for this weekend! If you didn’t sign up to volunteer yet, reply to this email and we’ll get you on the list with the other leaders that are ready to fight. We are working in unison with Local 520 (Catholic Board), Local 5040 (Foothills Division) and together we are going to win this fight.
Stay tuned for further communication tomorrow.
In Solidarity,
Clay Gordon
CUPE Local 40, President
