Sisters, Brothers, and Friends,

Bargaining

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.

Bargaining

For CUPE health care members in:

CUPE 204 (Community & Facility)
CUPE 4270 (Community)
CUPE 500 (Community & Facility)

With your strike mandate, the CUPE bargaining team went back to the bargaining table today.
Based on all the feedback we received from our members, we were able to present a strong case on why health care support workers are ready to strike for better.
