Premier Blaine Higgs has been put on notice. as reported in our news CUPE New Brunswick has given the premier an ultimatum:100 days to settle collective agreements for all the CUPE locals who’ve been waiting for a fair deal. President Stephen Drost says if Blaine Higgs refuses to act, CUPE members will have to mount a provincewide coordinated action More than eighty five hundred workers are affected by this in different sectors including education, social development, justice and corrections, and transportation and tourism.
These workers need our support. It is time for fair wages. Why is it this government seems to have money for grifters in Florida selling the province pie in the sky energy made from sea water and millions for the development of mini nuclear reactors, but no money for the workers who keep our province moving in so many directions. Make a call or send an email to you MLA let them know what the Current Government is doing in regards to the workers is beyond unfair. Also the opposition has to be more vocal.
