The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador has reached a tentative agreement with the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) on seven collective agreements representing public service employees across education, health care and social support sectors. These agreements are subject to ratification by over 3,500 CUPE members from across the province.

The tentative agreements include:

• Hospital Support;
• School Boards 1560;
• School Boards Master;
• Provincial Information and Libraries Board;
• Government House;
• Group Homes/Transition Houses; and
• Newfoundland and Labrador Housing Corporation.

CUPE will be presenting these tentative agreements to its membership in the coming weeks. Details on the agreements will be released upon ratification.

“I would like to thank the negotiating teams from the Provincial Government, public service employers and the Canadian Union of Public Employees for their collaboration throughout this series of negotiations, and I look forward to continuing our relationship. We value our public service employees who are members of CUPE, as they serve the community in health care, education, housing, social supports and libraries.”
