CUPE Local 4951 president Lily Bachand said a lot of hard work was invested in this process and agreement. “There were exhaustive efforts on both sides and the CUPE Local 4951 bargaining team is looking forward to ratification of this proposal in the near future,� Bachand said. As per usual, details of the agreement will not be disclosed until after union leaders have had a chance to recommend the package to their members. If CUPE Local 4951 ratifies the deal on Jan. 9, it will then go to the College of New Caledonia’s Board of Governors meeting on Jan. 25 for ratification.
