CUPE 15 Revised Bargaining Update - October 4, 2007
MY NOTE:
Vote dates were revised for CUPE 15 and 1004 members as Monday October 8th was a travel day for those with pre-existing Thanksgiving plans. Street level picketers complained that Thanksgiving preparations and family events would hinder members from fully reviewing the proposed settlement for a Monday vote. Tuesday voting is the result.
