CUPE 1760, United Way BC to begin first round of bargaining after amalgamation

BURNABY—United Way British Columbia (UWBC) and CUPE Local 1760 will be meeting on Monday, January 10 to begin negotiations for a renewed collective agreement, the first contract since United Way of the Lower Mainland amalgamated last year with five other United Way entities.

CUPE Local 1760 represents approximately 110 employees of United Way British Columbia working with communities in B.C.’s Interior, Lower Mainland, Central and Northern Vancouver Island.
