Edmonton Public School District educational assistants voted 84 percent to reject the most recent pay cap offer from the issues investigation board. This, according to CUPE Local 3550, the coalition that represents EAs, means a attack could occur in the new year if they didn’t come up with a good deal. Kids are beginning to feel a little comfort as the new year approaches. The leader of CUPE Local 3550, Maddy Lamoureux, confirmed to Global News that there will probably be education assistants on personnel for the first day of school when kids return from their Christmas break. Low staff, small engagement, and below-minimum-wage wages have been the main causes of negotiations since the two parties last discussed in 2020, according to Lamoureux. The union wants a salary cap of 2. 75 %, while the disputes examination board recommended a lower limit of 30 %. Our people are employed for two to three days, visiting food banks, and having to struggle to buy Christmas presents to place under the Christmas tree. They are working hard for a sustainable pay, according to Lamoureux, who believes they deserve it. A 72-hour see will be given at some point in the next month or so if we didn’t come up with a good deal.
