✊ We’re Getting Warmer on Non-Monetary Proposals! ✊
Dear Members,
We’re excited to share some hot-off-the-press news from our bargaining session of June 12, 2025.
✅ Some Progress Made:
We saw some movement by the employer towards some of our non-monetary proposals, which we view as progress to get us closer to the start of monetary proposals. It’s small, but meaningful step that we can congratulate ourselves on – our unity, support of our bargaining committee and collective solidarity is having an impact on keeping us on track to reach our goal of a first collective agreement.
🚧 Still a Few Roadblocks:
That said, we are Not out of the woods just yet. A few non-monetary issues remain sticking points — but your bargaining team will continue to push forward to obtain the priorities we are aiming to achieve. We will stand strong and shape the best agreement possible for all of us!
📍 Next Steps:
Mark your calendars! Our next bargaining session will be held at our CUPE Ontario Regional Office on June 24, 2025 — our union’s home turf. We will bring pen to paper for sign-offs on the proposals we have reached agreement on so far. That’s right we will start constructing our first Memorandum of Agreement, which we will bring to you for ratification in the future, once we have completed the entire bargaining process.
🗣️ Stay Tuned & Stay Strong:
We’re keeping our eyes on the prize and will continue to keep you in the loop. As always, your support fuels our fight. We’re in this together — shoulder to shoulder.
In solidarity,
Your Executive Committee
Your Bargaining Committee
Your Comms Committee
