Your bargaining committee met with the employer for two and a half days from December 11 to 13.
SAHO spent the majority of our scheduled time together meeting as a committee having internal discussions and was not available for face-to-face conversations with us. We are frustrated with SAHO’s lack of preparation for these bargaining dates, and we hope this will be rectified moving forward.
Your CUPE 5430 bargaining committee used this time to review all the employer and union proposals to propose next steps. We have further bargaining dates scheduled for January 30, 31, and February 1 2024.
Thank you to all our members who wore our Together for Better T-shirts in the workplace. You can see some of the photos from members on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/cupe5430/.
Our next order period for T-shirts will go live in January, and we will be rolling out a robust bargaining support campaign, featuring advertising, member mobilization, and political action. We will continue to work to raise our message in the media, which you can read more about in this article.
In solidarity,
Your Bargaining Committee:
Bashir Jalloh (President), Linda Renkas (Vice-President), Nancy Black (Recording Secretary), Rhonda Osipoff (Treasurer), Linda Vancuren (R1), Sharon Paul (R2), Janell Hubbard (R3), Adrienne Gardiner (R4), Corinne Sopel (R5), Lori Sutherland (staff), Justin Mercier (staff), Craig Thebaud (staff)
