Ratification Meeting
Sunday, March 26, 2017
Newton Library
9 am – 11:30 am

 CUPE Local 402-02 reached a tentative Collective Agreement with the Library last night.  Information about the tentative Memorandum of Agreement will be provided at the ratification meeting, which is scheduled for Sunday, March 26, 2017.  At this meeting, documents will be distributed, so that the changes or amendments to your Collective Agreement can be explained, discussed and any questions answered.

What is a ratification meeting?  This is a meeting where members have the opportunity to vote on the negotiated Memorandum of Agreement reached between our Union and the City. When a Memorandum of Agreement is approved by a majority of the membership, it is ratified.

Your Bargaining Committee is recommending that members ratify this agreement.

We look forward to seeing you there.

In Solidarity,

Your Bargaining Committee:

Denise Parks
Eileen McMillan
Kelly Kennedy
