Talks Break Down With Union for CBU Support Workers

Contract talks have broken down between the union for Cape Breton University’s administrative and support workers and the school.

CUPE Local 3131 says it’s filed for conciliation.

The Local says its members work in a variety of administrative roles at the university, including in the finance department, admissions and registration, student affairs, library services, IT, and academic support.

The union says the main outstanding issue in contract talks is wages.

It says a conciliator has been appointed but a date for the conciliation meeting has yet to be set.
