Negotiations Move to Meditation

The Scarborough School Board has disappointed the Association by persisting in its efforts to save significant dollars in relation to the custodial and food service employees. 

The Board's interest in outsourcing the custodial staff has led to their effort to have the in-house employees perform work at wages comparable to the outsource companies that are less than a living wage!  And, then they go beyond the sub-par wages and attack benefits as well. 

The parties are proceeding to mediation.  MEA and SEA are committed to doing everything we can to preserve this unit of dedicated employees.
