Ratification 2018 Results

Contract Ratified!

As a result of the Vote held Saturday, October 6th, 2018, the membership has ratified the proposed agreement reached by our Bargaining Committee.

When the entire new agreement becomes available, it will be published here on this website. Allow a few days for this process.

United we are stronger.

As Canadian workers we rely on our pensions and benefits so we can live and retire with dignity.
So with Canada’s inadequate bankruptcy laws allow failing corporations to take the money intended for our pensions and benefits, and use it to pay off CEOs, banks and investors instead.
We need to stop corporations from putting shareholders, banks and creditors ahead of their employees when they file for bankruptcy.
Please sign.

CCRSB changes name

CCRSB Changes Name

The CCRSB Regional Update of March 29, 2018 states that the ‘Chignecto-Central Regional School Board’ will change it’s name to the ‘Chignecto-Central Regional Centre for Education’ effective April 1, 2018.
The web and social media sites will reflect this change right away but other changes may take time to implement.

Read the CCRSB article – March 29, 2018. – Opens in a new window.

According to our local by-laws:
“Section 1 – Name
The name of this Local will be: Canadian Union of Public Employees, Local 3890, Chignecto-Central Regional School Board.”

* * *

(Editor comment – If a change is contemplated in our official name, would it be desirable to have a shorter form to work with?)

A suggestion – change that section to read:
“Section 1 – Name
The name of this Local will be: Canadian Union of Public Employees, Local 3890, Chignecto-Central Regional Centre for Education.” and for brevity, may also be referred to as: CUPE Local 3890, CCRCE.”

Nova Scotia teachers voted firmly in favour of protecting public education by giving the NSTU a strike mandate.

Eighty-two and a half per cent voted in favour of job action. Ninety-four per cent of NSTU public schools members participated in the vote.

“Teachers are prepared to put themselves at risk, both professionally and financially, to stop a damaging experiment in our public education system,” says NSTU President, Liette Doucet.

What will the Teachers Do?

The NSTU has voted overwhelmingly in favor of job action.

What will they do?
How will their actions affect us as CUPE members?

We will try to keep our membership informed as things develop. Watch for notices to members that could be posted on bulletin boards, and will be published on this website. Things may happen quickly without much time to prepare.

The CBC has written an article “NSTU votes in favour of illegal job action, wants meeting with minister, premier”.
