Medicine Hat public education support workers vote against labour deal
Medicine Hat’s public education support workers have voted not to ratify a proposed labour agreement.
The vote was originally delayed after Local 829’s executives were removed by the national CUPE leadership.
The Medicine Hat Public School Division acknowledges the “no” vote creates uncertainty but says the decision reflects the concerns and priorities of the workers.
School division superintendent Tracy Hensel says the proposed deal “offered a fair and competitive package.”
