District of Tofino workers ready to strike
The union hopes the district will respect employees and that a reasonable agreement can be achieved before services are disrupted.
“Tofino employees helped support residents through difficult times over the last two years caused by COVID-19 and its economic impacts,” Watton said.“Now that the world has emerged from the pandemic and Tofino looks forward to a prosperous future. District workers need a new contract that recognizes our CUPE 118 members’ commitment to the community they and their families are a part of.”
