CUPE Manitoba Convention
Check out these highlights from Convention this week.
Congratulations to Jonny Maria who was voted in as CUPE Manitoba General Vice President.
The numbers are in.....
CUPE Local 1522 Custodial members have given a clear message with a strike mandate of 92%. Clerical members have also delivered a strong strike mandate of 93%.
These results reflect the concerns and priorities of our membership and send a clear message about the importance of fair wages, respect, and working conditions.
Update on Seniority List
Seniority lists have now been distributed. The 2024 seniority list was shared with schools by the union, while the 2025 seniority list was issued by the employer.
Despite the union’s efforts to work collaboratively with the employer to ensure the accuracy of these lists, those efforts were not successful. As a result, we are aware that there are several errors.
If you identify any discrepancies, please contact the employer directly to have them reviewed and corrected, and copy the union on your correspondence. The employer should be able to provide clear explanations and supporting documentation for any differences identified.
The union’s position remains that the 2024 seniority list is accurate, and no revisions should be made to seniority prior to 2024.
To our CUPE 1522 Members,
We would like to provide a brief update regarding bargaining with the Lord Selkirk School Division.
​
Three days of conciliation have been scheduled for the end of April.
​
At this time, we are awaiting confirmation of the specific dates from the Labour Board. These sessions will provide an opportunity to meet with the Division and continue discussions related to the ESA.
​
We remain committed to engaging in this process in good faith and look forward to productive dialogue as we work toward a resolution.
​
In solidarity,
Your Bargaining Committee
Should schools be considered hazardous workplaces?
"A new report from the University of Ottawa points to high rates of violence and harassment towards support staff as reason to call Canadian schools hazardous workplaces. Darcy Santor tells us more about his research."
