O Reilly: CUPE

Maureen O Reilly Dept: In requesting the no-board report last week, CUPE Local 4948 said negotiations had reached an impasse, according to The Star. With cuts of permanent staffers in the budget, we will now have more part-timers in Toronto Public library than full-timers, O Reilly said and the province issued a no-board report Thursday, meaning 2,300 Toronto Public Library employees will be in a legal strike position as of 12:01 a.m. March 18. We re just hoping that it will bring greater focus to our talks, Maureen O Reilly, Local 4948 president, said Thursday. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
