STRIKE VOTE INFORMATION (05/05/2026)
As you are all aware the Bargaining Committee has filed for conciliation, this is a typical part of the bargaining process. As a part of this process we now need to take a strike vote, the results of this vote will give the CUPE 2977 Bargaining Committee strength at the table while we fight for a better Collective Agreement for all of you.
The Bargaining Committee will be holding info meetings prior to the vote. These meetings will be held virtually.
The times are:
May 11th at 8am
May 11th at 1pm
May 11th at 5pm*
*This last meeting is also our GMM and will be in person AND virtual
The in person meeting will be held at CUPE Niagara Office, 110A Hanover Dr.

BARGAINING UPDATE APRIL 22nd & 23rd, 2026 (05/04/2026)
Dear 2977 members,
Over the last two days your Bargaining Committee met with the employer and while there has been some movement ultimately we were left disappointed and are still far apart on your priorities.
Since things have not gone the way we hoped we have filed for conciliation.
We will hold a strike vote on May 12th via the safe voting platform Simply Voting. (More info to come)
As a note: a strike vote does not mean we are going on strike but it signals to the employer that we mean business.
