RESCHEDULED – Collective Agreement Ratification Vote

October 22, 2021

To all CUPE 386 Members,

As you are aware, today was the ratification vote for the current collective agreement 2021-2022 settlement proposal.

Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties with our server going down and Shaw being unable to rectify the matter, we are unable to proceed with the vote at this time.

We apologize for any inconvenience this technical difficulty as caused.

The vote will be rescheduled for next Thursday, October 28, 2021 with registration ending at 8:00am that morning.   If you have already registered to vote, your registration will still be valid and there is no need to re-register.  Even if you were able to get through and were successful in voting, unfortunately you will still be required to vote again on the October 28th.
