Educational support staff rejects new wage offer, strike looms
Educational assistants and support staff at Edmonton’s largest school board are once again in a position to strike.
Eighty-four per cent of CUPE Local 3550 members voted to reject the dispute inquiry board’s recommendations.
The province appointed the dispute inquiry board in late October, just one day before union members were set to strike.
The third-party process is meant to help both sides come to an agreement.
The union says the mediator recommended the school board’s previous offer of 2.75 per cent over four years with an additional three per cent if it extends the contract one year.
Local president Mandy Lamoureaux says members do not want to extend their contract and want to get back to the bargaining table.
“We’re not willing to accept cents. We are worth more,” Lamoureaux told CTV News Edmonton on Tuesday.
“Right now, there is an unprecedented number of staff on burnout. That’s because they can’t hire or retain staff at this low salary. Staff are burning out because they have to take on (extra work).”
She says if a deal is not reached, a strike is still on the table but that 72-hour notice will not be served over the holidays.
The Edmonton Public School Board says it remains committed to reaching an agreement without a work stoppage.
