With the massive restructuring of school divisions taking place in Saskatchewan, it is important to have an understanding of how CUPE support staff workers have fared in past amalgamations. Overall, CUPE members have benefited positively in past amalgamations, achieving improved benefits, working conditions and wage parity with higher paid support staff in the former school divisions. Past school division amalgamations have had the effect of bringing lower paid workers up to the highest standard in the newly formed school division. At the same time, overall wages, in general, have continued to rise for all workers in the amalgamated division.
