Our provincial CUPE K-12 met with the employer’s association today, and had a much better experience than their last time, with the employer bringing an improved monetary offer. There is still more work to be done, but this is movement in the right direction.
While other bargaining groups have been reaching settlements with the provincial government, our employer association has been unwilling to address our needs, and negotiations have come to a standstill.
CUPE K-12 will be meeting with the employer again on February 17. Read more on their website.
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:
