Hello CUPE 4747 members.
I have had a few members reach out to ask where we are in the bargaining process. To answer this question – we met for 2 days at the end of September and had the interest based bargaining training, and have had a chance to give/ receive what our requests are and theirs.
Due to calander conflicts with different people we do not go back to the table until the first week of November. Long story short there is nothing to report back on as we have not even started talking money or our “asks”. I know it’s a frustrating time waiting in limbo for information, and we feel it as well. Once we make some headway, we will be having a meeting to discuss things in more detail with you all. It is also imperative that you fill out the survey with your personal email address as we will not be communicating with the LSKY email especially on the negotiation topics.
Thank you all for your patience and understanding. This is not a quick process.
Krista Walker.
