CUPE 998 members,
Further to our previous update regarding the 0.75% pay grade increase, we want to let you know that the CUPE 998 Bargaining Team is actively preparing for arbitration.
As shared, CUPE 998 and the Corporation had reached agreement during bargaining on a 0.75% pay grade increase for all members. The Corporation’s subsequent interpretation differs from what was agreed to at the table, which led to CUPE 998 filing for arbitration.
With arbitration dates scheduled for June 2026, our team is currently gathering materials, finalizing arguments, and preparing to present a strong and clear case on behalf of the membership.
We remain committed to ensuring that the terms negotiated are upheld and that members receive what was agreed to.
We will continue to provide updates as we move closer to the arbitration hearing.
In solidarity,
CUPE 998 Bargaining Team
