Union comments on contract stalemate with Town of Tisdale
The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) is weighing in on the union’s impasse with the town of Tisdale.
Town employees in CUPE Local 777-2 have been without a contract since Dec. 31, 2018, and a recent round of voluntary mediation failed to produce a collective agreement.
CUPE has since reached out for provincially mandated mediation, and that process is in its early stages.
“The members [of CUPE Local 777-2] are just very frustrated with how they feel the employer has approached these negotiations,” CUPE National Servicing representative Janice Janzen said. “They haven’t seemed to want to have any meaningful discussion and have dedicated very little time to actual negotiations.”
