The Long-Term Care and Community Services Coordinating Committee is glad to share that at Monday’s lead table bargaining meeting, we got a deal!
The Committee were at the table but, as always, this victory belongs to members. After three long years in bargaining—and many more without a fair contract—we are proud to have been able to secure a good deal for members in DCS.
This would not have been possible without the steadfast commitment of over twenty locals across Nova Scotia. Your unity, your resilience, and your power as workers is what pushed the provincial government to stop backtracking, to stop pushing for concessions, and to accept a deal.
We would also like to remind members that we are holding info sessions over Zoom to go over details at 5:30pm and 7:30pm tomorrow, March 7th. If you have not received the link and meeting details, please contact the Department of Community Services Coordinator, Kim Cail, at: kcail@cupe.ca.
The Committee would like to thank every single one of the 2,000 CUPE members in DCS for your strength, and your solidarity.
