Your CPPW Bargaining Team showed up at mediation yesterday ready to bargain with the City to settle the contract.
The core issue in dispute continues to be real wage growth.
There was no movement in mediation. While this was not entirely unexpected, it is disappointing. The City bargaining team was given no additional economic authority by Mayor Wilson and brought no creative solutions forward to avert the strike.
Your union and the City will be back in mediation at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Nov 8. Your CPPW Bargaining Team is committed to do as much as we can to avert a strike, while also standing strong for members to settle a fair and strong contract.
