Striking City of Cornwall employees represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees rejected city contract offers in a Monday vote.
CUPE said the staffers, whose four locals include inside and outside workers, Cornwall pulbic library staff, and Cornwall / SDG paramedics, rejected the offers by an average of 92.5 per cent. Each local’s offer was voted on separately after CUPE agreed late last week to have its members vote on what the city had called its final offer.
CUPE had initially refused to take the city’s offers to its members, stating it wasn’t any different than what was tabled when the staff members voted to strike. After two fruitless days of bargaining near the end of May, city council instructed its bargaining team to request a supervised vote on the offers. When the Ministry of Labour said it would take until mid-June for the vote to take place, CUPE organized Monday’s vote.
While the city has no comment on what contract disagreements have led to the strike, Coun. Andre Rivette has been quoted saying the central issue in the disagreement is the city’s desire to reduce 17 weeks of leave at 100 per cent salary to 75 per cent salary.
CUPE said it informed the city of the vote results Monday evening and is ready to return to bargaining.
