Economic Package Info Sessions

Negotiations are heating up and we will not settle for a weak contract!

Two information sessions for CPPW members this month to dig into the details of the proposals for your wages, compensation, and workplace protections.

We will also share a plan for what comes next and actions you can participate in to advocate for ourselves and each other.
