Image: mta.ca<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you had a feeling of deja vu when you heard the news last week that Mount Allison\u2019s dining services staff had received termination notices, there\u2019s a good reason. The situation is nearly identical to one that took place about a year ago at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In both cases, the universities issued Requests for Proposals (RFPs) to companies interested in competing for the dining services contract at the schools, and in both cases, the unionized workers under existing collective agreements were not guaranteed successor rights in those RFPs. That means the winning bidders had no obligation to take over those collective agreements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At both Mount Allison and UNB, it meant a slew of termination notices to workers, after the companies with union agreements did not win renewed contracts. .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adrienne Paradis is a national servicing representative for CUPE. She says the change of dining contractors in Fredericton was disruptive and painful for workers in her union, but it wasn\u2019t always that way. The union doesn\u2019t have copies of the RFPs issued by UNB over the years (\u201cI\u2019m not going to lie,\u201d says Paradis, \u201cthey\u2019re very hard to get ahold of.\u201d) But Paradis is convinced that 2023 marked a change in how union contracts were treated in UNB\u2019s RFP process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn talking with the members that have been there for 40-plus years, and speaking with previous representatives\u2026 There was never termination letters given. It was a seamless transfer,\u201d says Paradis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the past when UNB changed contractors, according to Paradis, union workers would see a change in uniforms, and that\u2019s about it. \u201cAll we can figure is that in the past, it was part of the RFP to recognize the union automatically,\u201d says Paradis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is not the first time a contract change has nullified a union contract at Mount Allison. CUPE local 1440 lost their collective agreement before, the last time the university changed dining services contractors, around 2007. In that situation, local president Jason Tower recalls that the transition was difficult, and involved a tough battle to get a new contract that looked like the previous one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That was also the goal for CUPE local 2266 at UNB last year, and Paradis says that while the local did manage to form a new union contract, they ended up making concessions in some areas, including sick days. \u201cThe new employer refused to recognize the previous language in the collective agreement for sick days,\u201d says Paradis. Under their new contract, members of local 2266 can get short term sick leave, but not the day-to-day sick days they had access to previously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the termination notices were handed out, the process to negotiate a new contract in Fredericton went on for months, says Paradis, leaving workers worried about their future. The new company took over in June 2023, and it wasn\u2019t until near the end of May that they knew a new union contract was was coming, she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe majority of [the UNB dining services workers] had been there 20-plus years,\u201d says Paradis. \u201cWe even have some that were there 40 years\u2026 They didn&#8217;t know if they were going to have a job within a couple of weeks. They were just left in a lurch to see what&#8217;s gonna happen. It was awful for these employees to have to go through this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paradis points out that in New Brunswick, there\u2019s no requirement for institutions like universities to guarantee union agreements between corporate contractors, but she believes the onus should be on universities to do it anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI can&#8217;t express it enough,\u201d says Paradis, \u201cthe university should be looking after, not just New Brunswick citizens that are employed with these services, but they should be looking out for, you know, this family on the campuses that provide these services to students and faculty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt needs to go back to the universities, and they need to ensure that this doesn&#8217;t happen,\u201d says Paradis. \u201cDo the right thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CHMA reached out to Mount Allison University for an update on the dining services contract, and to ask if the university has the ability to guarantee union agreements when it issues RFPs. A communications officer for the school replied via email, \u201cThe process remains ongoing, so are unable to comment at this time. The community will be notified as soon as there is an update.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you had a feeling of deja vu when you heard the news last week that Mount Allison\u2019s dining services staff had received termination notices, there\u2019s a good reason.
