We turned up the heat together this summer – now let’s turn up the heat for fair wages and respect! Your support and solidarity is crucial as your Central Support Bargaining Team returns to the bargaining table next week on August 22 and 23.In addition, the Local 619 Sudbury NCC Bargaining team met with the employer on August 16, while the Professional Unit Bargaining team will have their next day at the table on September 14.We’re in the middle of a cost of living crisis that’s making life harder and more costly for all of us. It’s imperative that our contract reflects the respect we deserve and our wages match the value of our work. Your bargaining team is fully prepared to fight for a contract that acknowledges our worth.In Solidarity,
