The rejection means the strike by BACLA workers continues, with no new agreement announced
Workers at Brockville and Area Community Living Association have rejected their employer’s latest offer after 15 weeks on strike.
OPSEU/SEFPO Local 441 says members voted overwhelmingly against the last offer from BACLA management.
The union says workers remain united in their push for a fair contract and have received support from other community, health and social services workers across Ontario.
OPSEU/SEFPO says workers at developmental services agencies across the province have recently reached agreements with improved wages and working conditions.
The union has argued that BACLA’s last-offer vote was an intimidation tactic that could pressure workers to accept less and weaken solidarity among striking employees.
Under Ontario labour law, an employer can request a last-offer vote during a strike, allowing employees to accept or reject the employer’s latest proposal.
The rejection means the strike by BACLA workers continues, with no new agreement announced.
