Bargaining Committee 2017

As we approach the end of the term of our collective agreement (June 30, 2017), a general survey was sent out via email to all members of CUPE 3433 on March 15 giving members an opportunity to comment on aspects of the collective agreement.

The results of this survey will help in creating a second survey, aimed at narrowing the issues of importance. This survey will be sent out around May. There will also be a special meeting for members to discuss bargaining in more detail.

Members are welcomed to contact any member of the bargaining team directly with any questions or concerns.

The members of your team are:

Proposed Changes — Defined Benefit Pension Plan

Thanks to the expanded pension committee who has worked diligently since 2013, we have researched, discussed and pushed to secure a situation where we protect and ensure a sustainable defined pension plan for our members, insuring dignity and security upon retirement.

This responsibility was not taken lightly and after much deliberations a vote was taken and it was decided to bring this to the Executive and to the membership.

With the support of the Executive I would like to recommend that members accept these changes and vote yes.

Voting will occur at the R.P. Bell Library:

  • Thursday, October 1, 2015 from 1 pm-4 pm
  • Friday, October 2, 2015 from 9 am-4 pm

In Solidarity,
Roxamy Ibbitson
President, CUPE Local 3433/MASA
