We are pleased to confirm that the bargaining committee for the CUPE Nova Scotia School Board Council of Unions (NSSBCU) reached a tentative agreement with government late last night and are recommending members vote to accept it. Pending ratification, this agreement will avert job action and deliver on the priorities that school support staff empowered their bargaining committee to fight for.

We applaud the bargaining committee and express our heartfelt gratitude for their months of incredibly hard work and dedication. Congratulations are also extended to all affected members, whose courage and strength throughout this process were inspiring.

Many thanks are due to our wonderful staff for their tireless efforts and professionalism. We are also especially grateful for the support of CUPE members from other sectors/locals and the broader labour movement in Nova Scotia. Last night’s result clearly demonstrates what the power of solidarity can achieve!

The Eskasoni Teachers’ Union Stands in Solidarity with CUPE 5050! ✊

Eskasoni Teachers' Union PSAC Local 80510 stands firmly alongside our brothers, sisters, and siblings in CUPE Local 5050 as they issue their notice to strike.

Education and support workers are the backbone of our schools and communities. When frontline workers stand up for fair wages, safe working conditions, and respect, they are standing up for the quality of education our children receive every day.

To the workers of CUPE 5050: your fight is our fight. We support your right to collective action, and we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with you for as long as it takes to secure a fair contract.

Solidarity with the roughly 5,500 education workers in Nova Scotia, members of CUPE, who could go on strike as early as Monday.

It's time for the province to take their work and their needs seriously: raise wages, improve benefits, ensure school safety, and improve staffing levels now!

SEIU Local 2 also represents education workers in parts of Nova Scotia so we know all too well what our CUPE siblings are going through.

Improve working conditions to improve the critical service of education in Nova Scotia!
