As soon as we were informed of government’s position, we began the process of gathering our eight local presidents in Halifax to discuss.

We look forward to seeing government’s revised position and are confident that they have heard from Nova Scotians how important school support workers are to our communities.

We will be happy to recommend a tentative agreement to our members that addresses their significant and serious concerns about their working conditions and compensation.

Nelson Scott,
Chair, Nova Scotia School Board Council of Unions (NSSBCU)
President, CUPE Local 5050, Cape Breton-Victoria Regional Centre for Education
