SAULT STE. MARIE Members of Local 1880 of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), representing 400 Community Living Algoma workers, today voted down a tentative agreement reached in mediated talks yesterday.
“In heavy turnout for the vote today, members rejected the employer’s offer,” said CUPE 1880 negotiator Matthew Cavaliere. “At this time we have offered, through the provincial conciliator, to meet again with our employer to try and address issues of concern. In addition, out of concern for our clients, we have offered to remain on the job in the meantime.”
