Dear Members,
Your Bargaining Committee took the day on December 10th 2025 to work on responses to the items in Employer’s Non Monetary Proposal and met with the Employer on December 12th 2025 and continued to work on Health and Safety, Grievance and Arbitration, Representation, Violence and Harassment articles of the new Collective Agreement.
We have scheduled Bargaining dates in early 2026, on January 12, 22 and 30.
There are two bargaining dates in February and four dates in March that we hope to agree on early in January 2026.
The CUPE National had to extend the timelines for the Worth Fighting For campaign to ensure that more locals are included to place greater pressure on the provincial government prior to the release of the budget in March 2026.
On January 10th, 2026 we will be attending a Worth Fighting For conference hosted by CUPE to network, discuss common issues faced within the sector, and develop regional groups that can assist in making the Worth Fighting For campaign a success.
The members of the Local’s Strategizing group volunteered their time to complete the Power Up: Organizing For Power training!!!
