Your activism and solidarity won us a tentative agreement! The Health Care Strike organizing team is canceling tomorrow’s protest as we work on next steps.
Each Local (Locals 204, 500, 4270) will be reaching out to members soon to schedule online information sessions to review details of the tentative agreement, and when you can vote on it.
Your CUPE bargaining team met with the employer today expecting a meaningful proposal at the bargaining table. Unfortunately, the employer came back to the table with no new offer.
CUPE is fighting for a fair deal and better working conditions for Health Care Workers, and we continue to prepare for our strike deadline of October 8th.
CUPE Manitoba is proud to recognize the week of September 29th – October 4th, 2024, as School Support Staff Recognition Week. This important week acknowledges the value of School Support Staff to our education system.
During this important week, we will be celebrating the important contributions of School Support Staff in keeping our schools safer and clean, getting children and youth to school safely and on time, keeping our schools running, shelves stocked with books, and helping our children and youth learn, grow, and succeed.
The following letter of solidarity was sent by CUPE Manitoba President Gina McKay to Locals 204 (Facility and Community), 4270 (Community), and 500 (Riverview/health care unit) as they prepare for possible strike action.
Sisters, Brothers, and Friends,
On behalf of CUPE Manitoba and our provincial executive, I want to send along our solidarity and support to all CUPE health care locals, units, members of the bargaining committee and health care members throughout the province.
On Thursday last week, CUPE presented the employer a package of proposals that seeks significant changes to the recently rejected tentative agreement.
Our bargaining team submitted proposals that reflect what we heard throughout the ratification process including wages that catch up, recruitment and retention initiatives, immediate improvements for home care workers, and more.
