CUPE Local 500/City of Winnipeg Bargaining Bulletin #20 - An Important Message from your Bargaining Committee

June 29, 2017 at 1:34 PM

Dear Sisters and Brothers:

As you are well aware, today is the Local 500 ratification vote for a new collective agreement.

The Local 500 bargaining committee has been working diligently on your behalf since February and is recommending for you to accept the tentative offer.

The employer has been hearing much negativity in the workplaces, and as a result, we have been informed that they may have begun preparations for a lockout.  Should this occur, please report to 555 Broadway, the Local 500 Strike Headquarters.

If you have not yet voted, we urge you to do so, and to support your bargaining committee’s recommendation to accept the agreement.

In Solidarity,

Your Negotiating Committee
