Western’s Hospitality Service Employees, members of CUPE Local 2692, voted more than 90 per cent in favour of a new two-year contract at a ratification meeting held September 1. The previous contract, covering the 275 members of Local 2692, expired June 30.
Susan Grindrod, Associate Vice-President (Housing and Ancillary Services) said these are challenging financial times for universities and Western is no exception. She said she was pleased to see such strong support for the proposed contract.
“This is a very positive agreement for both the Hospitality Services Employees and Western that will enable us to plan for the future.
Western’s Board of Governors will be asked to ratify the agreement Sept 29, 2009. Details of the agreement will be released at that time.
