More than 230 OPSEU members at CLGS are in negotiations for a
new collective agreement.
A majority of these workers are female and part-time. There is no pension plan,
80 per cent are without benefits and there has been no acceptable wage increase
since 2008.
Management at CLGS has demonstrated little willingness to bargain a fair and
just contract and expect staff to wait another two years before considering a
wage hike. That would amount to a 15-cent an hour wage increase over six years,
which the employees are not willing to accept.
