CUPE K-12 has asked us to share this petition with our membership. If you believe that there is more need than is being addressed in our schools, please take some time to let the Ministry of Education and Child Care and the Province of British Columbia know:

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.
