If there is one constant in the inability for both sides to come together, it’s CUPE and their demands. Until last week, the union refused to move at all on their ridiculous wage demands of annual 11.7% wage increases.Article contentThey are demanding that all 10-month employees – that’s 65% of the CUPE school employee membership – get five paid days before school starts.
Currently, many educational assistants only work six hours per day; they want that made into seven hours paid per day to make them full-time workers.tap here to see other videos from our teamThey want parental leave paid out at 100% of salary/wages for eight weeks before the EI program kicks in.
Let’s be blunt, CUPE mostly represents part-time workers who work just part of the year. That is the job, that is situation that they knew going in. As I have already detailed in previous columns, these jobs paid a good hourly wage.
