Back to negotiating for education workers and English Catholic board

Monday’s threatened strike or lockout didn’t happen and now educational workers and our region’s English Catholic school are working to set a date to return to bargaining. 

CUPE – the union that represents the 130 workers — notes that many remaining issues are the result of concession proposals from the board. A union spokesperson says a review by the Crown determined that status quo will remain for most of them. 

The items are from the workers unionizing two years ago.  Current negotiations are for a first contract.
