Good Morning CUPE 2011 Members,
This post is to inform you of a legal strike currently underway in the Greater Victoria area that may affect some CUPE 2011 members. As you may be aware, the BCGEU issued 72-hour strike notice on Friday and has since commenced picketing at several locations, including 3550 Douglas Street. This site is home to a number of our members working in the OH&S, Communications, and Sustainability departments.
CUPE 2011 stands in solidarity with the BCGEU in their fight for fair wages and improved working conditions. Accordingly, our members are not expected to cross BCGEU’s legal picket lines.
This morning, I contacted the District to request alternative worksite arrangements for affected members who are unable to access their regular workplace. We will keep you updated as information becomes available.
If you have any questions about your worksite or how the picket line may affect you, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I will respond to your inquiries as quickly as possible.
Thank you
