A mediation session today between the bargaining committees of CUPE 2669, representing Saskatoon Public Library workers, and the Library Board has resulted in a tentative contract agreement.
Details will be released at a special membership meeting on Saturday, May 11. The 2669 bargaining committee encourages members to attend and cast their vote on this deal.
The 250 unionized library workers have been without a contract for more than three years and working under the provisions and wages of an agreement that expired March 31, 2010. Contract talks broke off November 2, 2012 after the Employer presented an inadequate ‘final offer.’ Wages and the Employer’s demand that CUPE 2669 sign off on any future provisions for pay equity were at the heart of the dispute.
Congratulations to the CUPE 2669 bargaining committee for its hard work, patience and perseverance in reaching a tentative agreement.
The May 11 meeting is at the Albert Community Centre at 12th Street East and Clarence Avenue, starting at 7 p.m.
