Media Release: CUPE Local 2669 Ratifies Tentative Agreement

SASKATOON, Saskatchewan--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Workers at the Saskatoon Public Library (SPL) have ratified a tentative collective agreement.

After more than three years of bargaining, on November 27, 2019 CUPE Local 2669 and the SPL reached a tentative agreement via a voluntary mediation process. The last collective agreement expired on December 31, 2016.

It is our position that employees should be given first preference over a new building and structure,” said Rhonda Heisler, the CUPE national representative. “However, we were able to jointly clarify and expand many processes in the collective agreement, including grievances, layoff and recall, sick leave, and other leaves.”

The SPL’s proposal for general wage increases and effective dates is as follows:

The new contract will expire December 31, 2020.

CUPE Local 2669 represents 270 public library workers in the City of Saskatoon at nine Saskatoon Public Library locations.
