The Membership votes:

97%

A strong turnout of Vancouver Public Library Workers, CUPE Local 391, gave a resounding response to contract negotiations with the Employer. 97% of the membership who cast ballots are are in favour of strike action if the Employer continues to ignore our proposals.  This Employer, after voting to close a cost-effective work unit and contract out its work wants to:

• Delete the Technological Change language.  We are proposing that the Tech change language provide for training and job placement within VPL across all classifications.


• Skip re-posting when a subsequent vacancy occurs in the same classification


• Delete 8.6.2 which provides for the Employer to write a written explanation explaining the reasons why an employee did not get a posting.


• Sick leave restructuring

97 % - We are solidarity personified.
