City workers say “no” to future job and service cuts in Nelson BC CUPE News
“We have given the city everything they have asked for, including sick leave reductions and a decrease in the minimum staffing level by four employees – saving the city $1.2 million,” says Bev Lapointe, CUPE 339 President. “You can’t get more helpful then that.”
“What we won’t agree to is opening up the door for the city to close the positions of the 21 city workers that will be retiring in the next 5 years. These jobs belong to the community.”
“Nelson is a town in need of good jobs and the maintenance of quality public services,” Lapointe explains. “While our jobs may be protected, it is only for the term of the agreement. It is our responsibility to make sure that future jobs don’t disappear and that city services are not cut to the core.”------------------------------------------- posted 10:20 AM :: reference link ::
