An error in the printing of the CUPE Local 1356 Collective Agreement has been noted and acknowledged by the Union and Management. The error is in Article 24.03 part 8 only. To correct this error only requires that the phrase " (Employee coverage only) " be deleted. This item was, is, and continues to be coverage for the employee and family as long as the family has been registered with the employer.
The Tuition Waiver for family members is no longer a tax burden on our members.
It is however taxable on the recipient of the benefit - the student.
As before the employee is not taxed for eligible courses taken by the employee themself.
Please see this document which was also posted on our notice boards recently.
Please read the document carefully as some members may wish to amend their tax submissions for the last couple of years with the new information.
During the recent run up to the settlement we were using a FaceBook account which was deleted by FaceBook. No real reason was supplied. Other unions have faced this issue too. Union Book was created by the same folks that bring us LabourStart a news service about and for unions. The intention of UnionBook is to be a supplement to Union Members to connect with each other and beyond to the greater labour movement. Some members of our Local already have joined as well as the Local itself.
We know some of you have joined UnionBook. Only one detail is left, go into your own email and confirm the account!
The Local is identified as cupe1356 in UnionBook
We get calls for other unions thus this is the resource to get to the correct place. [September 18, 2008 09:33 AM]
