OCHU/CUPE Membership Bargaining Survey – 2020
Dear CUPE Hospital Members,
Central bargaining begins in the spring of 2021. It will set the pattern for over 50,000 hospital and long-term care staff represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees in Ontario.
It is important that your central bargaining committee know exactly what improvements you want from the next round of bargaining. We will judge the success of negotiations by our members’ reaction to the end result.
Your local union leaders will attend a provincial bargaining conference in November 2020 where the priorities for bargaining will be decided based upon this survey.
Bargaining in 2021 will be challenging given the provincial government’s compensation restraint policy. We will need your full participation in the campaign to push for a contract that respects our members dedication and skill.
Throughout this process we will be issuing bulletins to update you.
Thank you,
Michael Hurley, President
Sharon Richer, Secretary-Treasurer
Louis Rodriguez, First V.P.
