After nearly one month of labour disruption and over eight months of collective bargaining, the Town of Whitby and CUPE Local 53 Full-time have reached a tentative agreement.

The three-year agreement is fair and balances the needs of CUPE Local 53 workers and Whitby residents. As a next step, both parties will vote to ratify the tentative agreement. Until that time, the details remain confidential. Updates will continue to be shared through whitby.ca/2023labourdisruption and the Town’s social media accounts on Facebook and Twitter. Residents can subscribe to receive Town updates and news emailed directly to their inbox at whitby.ca/subscribe.

Approximately 300 full-time staff are represented by CUPE Local 53 Full-time.
