Capital Regional District workers who are part of a local union voted overwhelmingly in favour of potential strike action as contract negotiations continue with the CRD.
Yesterday, members of CUPE Local 1978 held a vote about job action, and 98 per cent of voters said they were in favour of a strike.
The vote did not call for any immediate job action, with the union noting that it would need to serve a 72-hour strike notice and maintain essential service levels before members could strike. "In more than seven months of bargaining we have made minimal progress and our employer has been unwilling to discuss our members’ core issues," said Tom Benjamin, president of CUPE Local 1978, in a statement Wednesday.Future mediation dates have been set for Nov. 9 and 10, the CRD confirmed.
"Our members have told us loud and clear that their bargaining priorities haven’t changed," said Benjamin.
