– A second group of Halifax
university employees have rejected a contract offer from their employer.
Part-time Faculty
and Lab Instructors at Mount
Saint Vincent University
rejected the employer’s latest offer by a large
majority.
CUPE Local 3912 represents some 100 employees at the
Mount.
CUPE National Representative Peter Baxter says, “The key outstanding issues are
wages, compensation for Lab Instructors and leaves of absence.
“As with Dalhousie, the
monetary offer tabled by this employer is far less than what was recently
negotiated at SMU. The union is willing to resume contract talks in an effort
to avoid strike action,“ says
Baxter.
The more than 900 members of CUPE Local 3912 at Dalhousie have also
turned down their employer’s last offer.
