Local 5040 support staff of FSD are holding a Rally - April 13, from 12 noon, on Southridge Drive, Okotoks. The rally aims to bring awareness to the community- especially parents of students who attend the schools we serve-of the government's directive to the school division that they are only to offer the CUPE support staff a 2.75% pay increase - for the lowest paid support staff in the division this is approximately 60cents. There's been no decent pay increases over 12 years but the cost of living has risen over 25%.
Support staff are the backbones of the schools, we deserve a fair, living wage.
Come out and support us as we aim to bring awareness, we hope to see you there!
