CUPE Local 1480 represents 1,200 school support workers for the Limestone District School Board.
Provost says the deal includes a $1-per-hour wage increase, but that sick leave remains unchanged and that the province would not include more funding for student supports, which CUPE said was the biggest snag in negotiations.“Some are angry, some are satisfied, negotiations just happen to be that way.
“That fight isn’t over and we’ll continue to pressure the government over the next four years to put some funding in place for students and to support public education instead of continuously slashing,” she said. While school service workers continue their fight for student service funding, parents can now rest assured that further interruptions for their kids will be put to bed for the time being.
