To all CUPE Local 104 Members,
Many of you have received a force-wide message and individual notifications regarding a pause related to the calculation of cumulative service toward term-to-indeterminate conversion after three consecutive years of service. We recognize this has been unsettling, particularly for members who received this information while on shift and trying to do their job.
For clarity, this decision was first communicated to us on Friday, with implementation taking effect the following business day, which was yesterday. There was no consultation prior to implementation.
Approximately 158 CUPE 104 members nationally are affected, representing a significant portion of our members currently active on duty.
No action is required upon receiving this notice. Your day-to-day work expectations have not changed, and you should continue to report to work as scheduled while this situation is being actively addressed.
We are working to obtain clearer information on the scope, duration, and implications of this decision and to raise the concerns it has created, including the stress and uncertainty members are experiencing.
Further updates will be shared as more information becomes available.
Thank you for your continued professionalism under difficult circumstances.
In solidarity,
Your CUPE 104 Executive
