Supporting Education at Algonquin Lakeshore Catholic District School Board
We encourage every CUPE representative at each site to print and have staff sign the petition. School closures effect us all! Our board is facing school closures in the Kingston end of the board as of now. The ARC process has been completed for the east end of the board and there is anticipation that it will begin in the west at some point.
You can send completed petitions to lizjamescupe1479@gmail.com or to Georges Vanier Catholic School c/o Liz James.
We are currently looking for photos of CUPE Local 1479 members in action on the job. If you have any photos please send them to lizjamescupe1479@gmail.com
We are looking to create a gallery of photos that showcase all of the valuable work that our members do. We are going to be working with the OSBCC on a new campaign to fix the funding formula. It is broken and the students of Ontario are paying the price. We need to join together with other stake holders to lobby the government to properly fund the education system.
Just because busses are cancelled doesn’t mean you just get to take the day off. If your drive way isn’t plowed or shovelled you will not be approved by HR for an Inclement Weather day.
In the case of inclement weather Unit 1 members must stay in touch with their supervisors and continue to make attempts continually through out the day to get to work. When filling out your Request to be Absent form be sure to include information about number of attempts, contact with supervisor and road conditions. Unit 1 does not go to the closest school.
Unit 2 does not have language regarding inclement weather so they follow the board policy of staying in touch with school supervisor and go to closest school if you are unable to get to your regular school site.
Be safe people! Winter is here!
If you have any questions please contact your Steward or Executive.
