FYI – Overnight Field Trip LOU

For those to whom it would be useful:

We have a Letter of Understanding with the school district that governs overnight field trips. These are the standards it lays out:

  • If it has been determined necessary for a CUPE employee to go on an overnight trip, the opportunity should be offered to employees in order of seniority, first only to CUPE employees on site, and if all of them turn it down, to all CUPE employees.
  • While on the trip, the worker will earn their normal wage for their current job classification. They will be paid for a minimum of 14 hours per day with no overtime.
  • If an emergency requires the employee to work more than 14 hours per day, they will be paid time-and-a-half for any additional hours.

Rescheduling – Upcoming Meeting Dates

Scheduling Conflict
Neither a spokesperson for the organization nor the current world champion could be reached for comment.

Hey everyone, we just wanted to keep you up to date as we move forward with bargaining.

The meeting dates of May 10th and 24th have had to be postponed. In lieu of this we will be hosting a Q&A session in both the morning and evening of May 29nd. We will update you at the end of next week with any June dates or changes. Apologies for the shifting goalposts.

If you are interested in joining the bargaining process, please reach out as we still have room for more people to be involved.
