CUPE 402-02 – Librarians and Union Certification

I am very happy to announce that the majority of Surrey’s professional librarians have voted in favour of joining us in Local 402-02.

Over the next few months, the Union will be working with Librarians and Administration to create a Memorandum of Agreement that will bridge their working conditions and benefits to our Collective Agreement until December 2020.

I would like to thank Zoe Magnus from CUPE National Organizing, Kelly Kennedy, and some dedicated librarians for all the work they have done over the past few months to make this happen.

On behalf of the Exec and members of CUPE Local 402-02, I would like to say to our new members:
Welcome to 402-02 Surrey Library Workers!

In Solidarity,

Denise Parks
