Bargaining Update
Hello CUPE 476 members,
Over the dates of September 21-23, 2026 we met with our employer to collectively
bargain. We have made progress signing off on some nonmonetary pieces such as housekeeping and communication.
We did not finish bargaining with our employer over the three days we met. Our next
scheduled dates are October 6-7, 2026, where we will meet to continue our process
discussing monetary proposals and finishing off nonmonetary proposals.
In solidarity,
your CUPE 479 Bargaining Committee,
