We are living in unprecedented times due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We know you are all being inundated with multiple questions from worried and confused members and co-workers. We understand that it is difficult to know how to respond at times or what to say. This is normal given the situation we all find ourselves in.
CUPE Local 1936 Table Officers would like to thank each and every one of you for everything you are doing during this particularly trying time. We want to thank you for going above and beyond in your efforts to respond to members concerns and allaying their anxiety.
We want to reassure you that we are doing everything in our power to access information and find clarity in support of each and every one of our members. We are in regular discussions with the majority of your employers and we are also in regular discussions with the Community Social Services Bargaining Association as well as the Community Social Services Employer’s Association.
We commit to providing updates as often as possible. These updates and information will be posted on our website in order to assist you in responding to your members and co-workers.
Thank you to each and every one of you. We know from conversations with you that you are doing an outstanding job in reassuring CUPE Local 1936 members. We couldn’t get through these unprecedented times without your hard work on the front-lines, as shop stewards and as workers.
In solidarity,
Sheryl Burns
