Strike Information Sessions

INFO • INFO • INFO

Hello Members and friends!

The past few months have been busy ones for your executives as we’ve been working to get you better work conditions.  Unfortunately, ours was the only local that did not reach the numbers for a strike mandate.  We accept responsibility in this and believe that although there were many factors involved, a large one was that you were not given enough information to make an informed vote.  We would like to fix this by offering three information sessions.

These meetings will offer you a chance to hear what has happened at bargaining so far, and to ask any questions that we may not have covered.

Here’s where you come in.  We can give all the information in the world, but it won’t do any good if you’re not there to hear it.  Please get involved and show your support by attending one (or more) of these sessions.  If you have not signed up for emails and texts, or if your information has changed please contact Emily (our secretary) @ 613.360.6335 or emily.d.arsenault@gmail.com

In solidarity,

Your CUPE 3876 Executive

Trustee Position

We are in need of a 3 year trustee. If you’re interested or have any questions, speak to any of your executive members.

Picket Captains!!!!

We Need Picket Captains!

CUPE 3876 is looking for people to volunteer as picket captains in the event of a strike. What is a picket captain??? The picket captain is?

  • the representative of the union on the picket line
  • the leader of the picket line – inspiring picketers, solving problems, answering questions
  • the link between the strike committee and the picket line

If you are interested, please contact Angela Chillman @ 902.825.2701 or angie-chillman@hotmail.com

Voting Email Release – Please Vote

A second email will be sent for voting for those who have not yet voted. If you don’t receive an email to your personal email please contact an executive member.

We need your votes, we need to go to the bargaining table and say the members will not accept the current offer for wages that has been offered to other locals.

The current wage proposal shared with some of our locals is 2% the first 2 years and 1.25% for 1 or 2 more years depending on the length of the new contract. This is unjustified in our economic environment a Janitor will see a raise of only $1.34 in 4 year contract. Please share the word and vote.

If you have any questions or concerns reach out to the Executive Members.
