| CUPE reaches tentative agreement; suspends work-to-rule action | http://cci.scdsb.on.ca/about-us/news/board-news/40 | CUPE reaches tentative agreement; suspends work-to-rule action |
<p>The collective bargaining agreement between the Simcoe
County District School Board (SCDSB) and the Canadian Union of Public Employees
(CUPE) expired on August 31, 2014. In the SCDSB, CUPE represents our custodial
and maintenance staff. Since September 10, 2015, CUPE members have been engaged
in provincial job action in the form of a work-to-rule campaign. </p><p><strong>On November 2, CUPE reached a tentative agreement at the central bargaining
table with the Government of Ontario and the Ontario Public School Boards’
Association (OPSBA). </strong>The tentative deal must be endorsed by
CUPE's local leaders before it is presented to all CUPE members for
ratification. CUPE has agreed to suspend central job action while ratification
takes place. Terms of the tentative agreement have not yet been made public. </p><p>
