This Member vote requires 50% plus 1 (one) vote to ratify:

The Tentative Agreement is RATIFIED.
 
This agreement shall be effective from October 1, 2021, and shall continue in full force and effect until midnight on September 30, 2026.

Following the process since reaching a Tentative Agreement (TA) at the negotiating table, the Swoop Bargaining Committee, and the CUPE Local 4070 Executive, along with other elected representatives congratulate our Membership on ratification of our historic first ever union Collective Agreement.

A specific thank you is due to the many other union representatives who helped throughout the lengthy bargaining process, as well during the ratification process. These include:
● the 4070 Communications Committee members from all three bargaining units: a true team effort.
● all Stewards across our entire network.
● our three CUPE National representatives.

The work towards full implementation of the changes across every aspect of our employment experience will begin immediately.

As always, if you have any questions, please contact us at www.cupe4070.ca/contact. If your questions are regarding the CA, and not of an immediate nature, please know that further communications will be released as implementation of the Collective Agreement proceeds.
We are extremely proud of the engagement and questions that the Membership sent our way over the past weeks. It remains our privilege to represent you. Congratulations on this historic moment for all Swoop Members!
 


In Solidarity,
Your CUPE Swoop Bargaining Committee
Your CUPE Local 4070 Executive Team
