Swoop Tentative Agreement Ratification Schedule & Events

Dear Members,


As we communicated with you last week, on September 8, 2021; CUPE Local 4070 and Swoop Inc. reached a Tentative Agreement (TA) at the bargaining table for our first ever union Collective Agreement (CA).

We are now ready to inform you of the process (including important dates and times) leading up to the ratification vote of the TA. Here are some important milestones towards ratification that you should be aware of:

Roadshow registration information will be released on September 15 along with the TA PDF. Ratification vote ballots will arrive via email at the start of the voting process on September 18. Certified results of the ratification vote will be announced via e-mail shortly after the ratification period closes on September 25.

Vote & Union Emails
All Swoop Members, regardless of having signed a Union card are legally allowed to vote in the TA ratification process, this applies to all active and inactive Members. Any Member who has not signed a Union card or does not currently have an email address on file with the Local are asked to complete the Rand Member Form on our website in order to ensure they receive email updates and the TA voting ballot. Members are also welcome to sign a Membership card and pay the $5 initiation fee to become a Member in Good Standing using this form if they have not already done so at any time.

This is a tremendously exciting next two weeks for Swoop Members. The Union joins you in being so proud that we have finally reached this milestone.

Please stay tuned, and keep an eye on your email for all communications regarding the ratification events outlined above.

As always, if you have questions or require assistance from your union, please reach out to us at: www.cupe4070.ca/contact. 

In Solidarity,

Your CUPE 4070 Swoop Bargaining Committee
