Local 57-Laing House Countdown to Strike!
Good morning,
After two days of conciliation, the employer presented its final offer to the Local 57 (Laing House) bargaining committee. The bargaining committee presented the final offer to the members of Local 57 without making a recommendation of acceptance or rejection. Members reviewed the final offer and conducted their vote between Friday April 28th and Friday, May 12th, voting to either accept the employer’s final offer or reject the offer and give authorization to conduct a strike.
Strike Vote Results
Members voted strongly in favour of a strike to back their bargaining committee’s demands after the conclusion of conciliation.
Eighty per cent of the membership voted, and 100 per cent of the members who cast ballots indicated they require fairness to reach a collective agreement. The union has requested the conciliator file his report. Once he has provided notice that the report has been filed, Local 57 will begin a 14-day strike countdown.
Members Want Fairness For Themselves, And The People They Serve
Our members work to empower youth living with mental illness through innovative youth engagement and peer support. This vote is about fairness and respect not only for the members of Local 57, but for the people they serve.
Details on how fellow NSGEU members can show support for your local will be provided in the coming days. Together, NSGEU makes fairness work for everyone!
