HALIFAX, Nova Scotia — Halifax-area school support staff have voted to ratify the tentative agreement negotiated between CUPE Local 5047 and the Halifax Regional Centre for Education. This ratification puts an end to the 5-week strike that began on May 10th.
“While we are happy that we’ve made some progress, there’s a lot of work still to be done,” said Chris Melanson, President of CUPE Local 5047. “School support workers in Halifax are activated, organized, and will be continuing to fight to make these jobs livable. This is just the beginning.”
