He said that it was with great pleasure to speak on behalf of the negotiations team that he presented the tentative agreement that was reached with their “CUPE labor partners.” “It was a collaborative process, and it was a great opportunity for us to come together, hear about some of the issues and concerns each side had as we sought to optimize our collective agreement in service of enabling our employees in order to serve our students better. Which is of course our primary responsibility and with that we are very excited to be one of, I believe two boards, in the province of Ontario that have been able to achieve a local collective agreement with our CUPE partners,” said McFarlane.There were no questions brought forward during the open meeting and the board members approved terms of the local collective agreement between the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board and the CUPE Local 1022. --------------------------------------------------- Images: --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2023-01-04 09:50:56 Post date GMT: 2023-01-04 14:50:56 Post modified date: 2023-01-04 09:51:00 Post modified date GMT: 2023-01-04 14:51:00 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
