Greetings Vancouver School Board (VSB) Members:

Your CUPE Local 15/VSB bargaining committee met on September 19, 2024 to begin preparation for your upcoming bargaining in 2025.

They have developed a calendar which outlines important dates including the preparation of the employee survey, development of proposals, and when employees can vote on which proposals the committee will present to the employer in 2025.

The preparation of proposals will reflect employees’ responses to the survey, possible changes to legislation affecting our members, as well as areas of the collective agreement we feel need to be improved.

As we often ask members to participate in this important meeting, please ensure that the union office has your current personal email address and phone number by sending an email to email@cupe15.org or calling (604) 879-4671.

Dates and times of the ratification of proposals meeting will be provided in advance to all members.

Just a friendly reminder that your CUPE Local 15/VSB bargaining committee members are:

Randy Horton – Co-Chair
Suzette Magri – Minute Taker
Vanessa Mani – Co-Chair
Debbie Mohabir – Chair    
Cynthia Schadt – Lead Steward
Sheri Nielsen – Alternate
Chris Brown – Alternate
Kathie Currie – Staff Representative/Spokesperson

As there is extensive work that needs to be done before June 2025, we will endeavour to keep you updated as things progress.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the union office.

In solidarity,

Warren Williams
President
