Just received word from Terry Preston that they are still bargaining and working hard to get a fair deal.
We know this time is stressful. That is why we have decided to not attend the national convention and cancelled our rooms. We wanted us all to be here in the event anything transpires on Monday. This is a very important conference where many important resolutions are put on the floor- just two years ago the vote in favour raising strike pay to $60. This conference is also very important as they will be voting for the new president of CUPE National.
Let’s keep our fingers crossed that the government and trustees get their heads together and give us the fair deal that we deserve! We work hard, care about students and are extremely valuable in the education system in Ontario. We have a positive impact on the way Ontario students access the curriculum and contribute to student success.
