Wage increases to meet rising cost of living among issues CUPE 363 hopes to address at the bargaining table.
The vote by CUPE 363 members working for the City of Revelstoke comes on the heels of city council’s vote to increase wages for mayor and council. A union statement didn't mention any immediate plans for a strike.
A city council attempt to privatize garbage collection service by allowing private companies to bid has backfired when the local union, Cupe 363, submitted the lowest bid. Council went further and voted against accepting the lowest bid, meaning what happens next is unclear.
