Selkirk – CUPE Local 3085, representing employees at Community Living Selkirk, has served notice to their employer that they will be on strike effective August 8, 2014, at 8:00 am.
“We have done everything in our power to avoid a strike situation” said Sheree Capar, CUPE National Representative, “but the employer refuses to provide fairness, offering sub-inflationary increases that would amount to nickels and dimes on already low wages”.
CUPE Local 3085 (Community Living Selkirk) invites you to join them at the Minister of Family Service’ office to call for fairness for Assisted Community Living workers!
