CUPE Local 1479

Agenda Sept. 23, 2017

There have been a number of emails coming in regarding going in to set up classrooms for ECE and attending staff meetings by all the groups. There is no paid time for this for any CUPE member.  You must speak to your administrator prior to attending the meeting or going into the school to prepare for the first day back and get clarifications as to whether lieu time would be given, do not just assume it will be because it has happened in the past.  CUPE does not encourage attending meetings or going into work without being paid, but that is obviously your decision to make.  We will never get paid for something we are willing to do for free.
