In Solidarity
The Executive of CUPE Local 5441

WE NEED YOUR INPUT AND SUPPORT. We will be starting negotiations in the next few months.   The results of this survey will form the basis of our local issues proposals. Items related to Central Bargaining (wages, seniority, job protection, leaves of absence, vacation, sick leave, grievance procedure etc.) either already appear in your Composite Agreements, or will be presented as standard CUPE Central language. We will send another survey soon related to wage harmonization and job duties.

Please complete on-line survey by July 31, 2020

Here is the active link for the on-line survey:
