September 12th

Hello 3730 members!  Our social committee was planning a social gathering for September 12th but unfortunately because of rising Covid 19 numbers this is no longer an option. We would like to do something virtually soon but are looking for your suggestions. If you have any ideas of fun things we could do via zoom, let us know.
Thanks, your social committee.

COVID – 19 Vaccine

To Members of Cupe Local 3730

 
      It has come to the executive’s attention that some members seeking to get a vaccination are being turned away.

As an executive we have reached out to the Board for some clarification, and a call to the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA).  I can assure you that the Board was told all staff at the school levels will get access to the vaccinations. The Board has a meeting with the SHA today and we are told that this issue will be addressed. If you are planning to receive a vaccine, then we encourage you to stand your ground at the vaccination sites and ask for a supervisor so you can explain that we are the same as teachers and support staff.

When you attend to your vaccination, ensure you have your current pay stub. Stay tuned for further information on this important matter..

 
In Solidarity,

The executive for Local 3730
