As of 8:30 this morning, the City of Toronto and CUPE local 416 reached a tentative agreement. The city has withheld details of this agreement until negotiations with CUPE local 79 end, but CUPE representatives have stated that they have not backed down on concessions which the City recommended. The strike will continue until a deal is reached with local 79, and it is estimated that work could resume by Wednesday.
We'll keep you posted as to the details of the negotations as we hear them, please stayed tuned for further updates

I think the councillors should vote against the deal if the union members can continue to keep the 18 sick days.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I do not understand why we cannot privatize the garbage collection while the contract with the union members expired. The government cannot sign a contract with other companies? The councillors should run the city as a company, not a "money printing machine".
