Your bargaining committee met with the employer on Oct 1 and 2. There were some significant gains made with the non-monetary items. We have moved into monetary issues, and after a lot of discussion, the teams have agreed to continue negotiations later. We have scheduled further meetings for October 24 and 25.
Your bargaining team will continue to work toward the mandate the members have given us. We will need your support now more than ever.

WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER YEAR.
Its hard to imagine summer is already over. I hope your year goes well and I hope that any of your union troubles are non-existent. [LOL]
Your Bargaining team met during the summer to try to catch up, after we finally received the Out-of-Scope Handbook and Salary Grids from the employer. Even though we had to go to a couple of days before we were scheduled to appear in front of the Sask Labour Board, to contest the right to have those documents.
The bargaining team has also cemented 3 dates with the employer, which I hope will be fruitful.
Congratulations to everyone for coming back to school, some of you are in new positions and others are continuing to give the excellent opportunity to the leaders of tomorrow.
Omar Murray
Pres. Local 4754
On April 30, 2024 after some last minute negotiations Chinook SD 211 and CUPE Local 4754 came to an agreement in principle. In an effort to avoid presenting our respective cases to the Saskatchewan Labour Relations Board, on May 1 and 2.
Chinook has agreed to present the union with the Out-of-Scope Personnel Handbook and the corresponding salary grids, while the union has dropped our request to view the senior administration percentage salary increase.
This decision followed recommendations from the Saskatchewan Privacy Commission that Chinook give the union access to the handbook, in its entirety, rather than the heavily redacted version they had sent to the union before.
CUPE local 4754 looks forward to a meaningful round of bargaining with Chinook School Division in the near future.
