Schools to reopen Monday after province, CUPE reach tentative agreement

Schools moved to online learning on Nov. 1 after province locked out
striking education workers

CUPE workers are shown striking in Fredericton on Oct. 31. New
Brunswick reached a tentative deal with the union on Saturday;
students are expected to return to classrooms in the coming days.

Schools in New Brunswick will reopen on Monday after the provincial
government reached a tentative agreement with the Canadian Union of
Public Employees late Saturday.

"I know that the last couple of weeks have been challenging for
students and parents," Premier Blaine Higgs said in a press conference
Sunday. "There's no replacement for in-classroom learning."

More than 22,000 public sector workers are now expected to return to
work after being on strike for more than two weeks.

Tentative agreements were reached Saturday night with seven of the
union's locals, Higgs said.

Schools closed on Oct. 29 and moved to online learning after about
3,000 workers that included custodians, bus drivers, school library
assistants and administrative support went on strike.

Community colleges, where CUPE workers are also employed, are expected
to reopen to students on Tuesday.

"I'm optimistic," Higgs added. "I really believe people want to get
back to work."

Higgs declined to comment on contract terms.

CUPE New Brunswick president Steve Drost said negotiations over the
past few days have been painful and tedious, but he's excited to
present it to workers after everything they went through.

"Both sides were able to make compromises in the best interest of the
province," he said.

The new wage offer will allow workers to keep up with cost of living
in the province, he said. The 10 locals involved in strike action will
be voting this week, with votes expected to wrap up by Friday.

conference last weekend. He described the negotiations as 'painful and
tedious.' (CBC)

"I think that we've been able to achieve labour peace for New
Brunswick. I'm very confident that we've made some historic gains here
for workers," Drost said. "I couldn't be prouder of the workers."

Both parties have also reached an agreement regarding pension plans
that were being offered to locals 2745 and 1253, Drost said.

Previously the premier had been demanding the locals convert their
pension plans into the shared-risk system already in place for most
other provincial employees, a major sticking point in the labour
dispute.

"We were able to achieve language in terms of a memorandum of
understanding on that, whereby it's not necessarily a conversion to
shared risk," Drost said.

A union led court challenge regarding the back to work order that
forced more than 2,000 health-care workers back to work on Nov. 6
scheduled for Monday is still going ahead, he said. The premier has
since confirmed the order has been revoked.

"We have to ensure that people's rights weren't violated," Drost said.
N.B. Liquor stores staying open

A tentative agreement between the province and the local representing
workers with N.B. Liquor was also reached Saturday evening, its
president said.

The workers previously were set to take strike action by Tuesday if a
deal couldn't be reached over the weekend, which would have shuttered
stores.

Tuesday, said the negotiating team is 'very happy' to have reached a
tentative agreement for N.B Liquor workers. (Ed Hunter/CBC)

"The negotiating team is very happy. We're glad to have this done,"
said Jamie Agnew, the president of Local 963.

He wants the public to know there's no need to panic buy. Provincewide
sales reached $2 million on the Wednesday before Remembrance Day, he
said, well over projections of around $500,000.

A prior tentative agreement had been reached between the union and
management a year ago.

"We thought we had a tentative agreement in November of 2020, but that
was squashed by Mr. Higgs, so we had to go through this process again,
and ended up taking a strike vote," Agnew said.

CUPE waiting for ratification to decide whether to continue lawsuit
against province

Emergency hearing scheduled for Monday cancelled in light of tentative
contract agreement

Joël Michaud, a lawyer for CUPEs, says the union is waiting for the
result of the public-sector workers' vote on a tentative agreement
before deciding what to do about the lawsuit filed against the
province. (Shane Magee/CBC)

The Canadian Union of Public Employees is not abandoning its court
challenge of the province's use of emergency legislation to force
striking health-care staff back to work.

CUPE had asked for an emergency hearing Monday to put a pause on the
emergency order while its legality was decided.

But because staff went back to work after negotiators reached a
tentative agreement over the weekend, the emergency hearing was
adjourned.

Union lawyer Joël Michaud said that while the emergency hearing is
cancelled, the legal challenge is still on.

"It's certainly on, at least until ratification," he said. "If the
hospital-sector's members don't ratify, then we're right back to
square one."

    CUPE takes province to court over back-to-work emergency order

    Parents relieved children are back in school, but it may take time
to get back to routine

On Sunday, CUPE and the province separately announced a temporary end
to the two-week strike by 22,000 public-sector employees, including
school bus drivers, educational support staff and workers in
transportation, corrections and the community college system.

The employees will vote on a tentative agreement with the government
this week and decide Friday if the strike is over or if they will go
back on the picket lines.
Health-care workers out for a shorter time

Some support staff in the health-care sector were part of the strike
for a week but were ordered back to work by the province on Nov. 7.

Attorney General Ted Flemming imposed an emergency order that said if
any of them continued to strike, they could face thousands of dollars
in fines. And the "employee organization" they're a member of would be
fined a minimum of $100,000, with no maximum limit, for each day they
don't comply.

In its challenge, CUPE alleged the order contravened the workers'
right to freedom of association and to belong to a certain
organization. They also alleged the fines exceeded what's allowed
through the Emergency Measures Act, and constitutes "cruel and unusual
punishment," which also contravenes the Charter or Rights.

Michaud said that even if the agreement is accepted, the union may
continue the challenge to get clarity on whether using the province's
Emergency Measures Act to stop a strike is legal in general.

"There may be, you know, long-term utility in having a decision for
all parties involved, frankly, for government as well," Michaud said.
"There could be … a pretty clear statement of the court as to whether
or not acting this way was legal.

Or the union could abandon the challenge, Michaud said. The union has
yet to decide what to do.

Even if CUPE wants to go ahead, Michaud said, the court could decide
that the issue is moot if the order is permanently lifted.

> Posted by Merredith Brewer 341sc on May 22, 2013
>
> 22 MAY 2013
>
> Bill 39, the proposed new Electricity Act, was debated yesterday in
> the Legislature during second reading. The Green Party says the debate
> overlooked the key problem with Bill 39. It fails to keep the politics
> out of NB Power.
>
> "Energy Minister Craig Leonard claims that Bill 39 will ensure that NB
> Power will operate like a business, free from political interference,
> but nothing could be further from the truth,"   said Green party
> leader David Coon. "The dirty little secret is that Cabinet will still
> be in the driver's seat when it comes to determining the most
> important costs associated with running the electrical utility, and
> the costs determine the price of electricity," said Coon.
>
> Unlike provinces such as Nova Scotia, Bill 39 requires NB Power to
> have its business plan, the Integrated Resource Plan, reviewed and
> approved by the provincial cabinet every three years rather than by
> the Energy and Utilities Board (EUB). Furthermore, while proposals for
> costly refurbishments or new power plants will be reviewed by the EUB,
> Cabinet retains the authority to make the final decision.
>
> "Bill 39 gives Cabinet a direct role in approving NB Power
> expenditures, which determine the price the utility must charge for
> its electricity," said Coon. "Bill 39 keeps the politics in NB Power
> which is why the Green Party has been demanding it be sent to
> committee for public hearings," said the Green Party leader.

>
>         Today’s public session will deal with Matter 430, which is NB

> 2019-2020 General Rate Application.  In that application, NB Power is
> seeking Board approval for, amongst other things, an average increase

> I want to also point out that NB Power is represented here today over

>   CHAIRMAN:  Good evening, everyone.  Bonjour.  This session is a
> continuation of our annual public session related to the general rate
> application by NB Power.  And we had three excellent presentations
> earlier today.
>
>     Before we get started with the presentations this evening, I want
> to point out that there are translation devices available at the back
> of the room.  So if anybody feels that they may need that translation
> device, please take this opportunity to get one.
>
>     All right.  And I just want to -- for those who perhaps haven’t
> appeared before the Board in the past, I want to point out that the
> full Board is present here tonight, including to my left our
> Vice-Chair, Francois Beaulieu, Patrick Ervin to my far left, next to
> me Michael Costello and Mr. Ervin.  Did I call him Mr. Ervin?  Mr.
> Herron is down there.  There, I have got them mixed up.
>
>     All right.  So would you say a few words in French?
>
>   VICE-CHAIRMAN:  Bon soir à tous.  C’est un continuation de la séance
> public que nous avons débuter cette après-midi.  Comme M. le président
> l’a indiqué, nous avons reçu trois bonnes présentations cet
> après-midi.  Et puis avant de commencer, nous tenons à souligner que
> les dispositifs a l’arrière pour l’écoute en française si vous voulez,
> et puis cette un séance extraordinaire, un session extraordinaire de
> la Commission.  Pis comme vous pouvez le voir, toute le monde est
> présent aujourd’hui, Monsieur le président, M. Gorman, et puis à ma
> gauche, puis M. Herron, at puis M. Costello, puis M. Ervin.
>
>   CHAIRMAN:  All right.  So just before we get started, I should
> indicate as well that we have allocated 15 minutes for each of the
> presenters this evening.  So we will start with David Amos.
>
>     Mr. Amos, I think you can either take that table or the podium.
> Either one there is a microphone at both so whatever you are most
> comfortable with.
>
>   MR. AMOS:  Good evening.  I presume I can speak for 15 minutes
> uninterrupted?
>
>   CHAIRMAN:  Yes.  You are allocated 15 minutes, that’s correct, Mr. Amos.
>
>   MR. AMOS:  First I guess I should thank you for your signature, sir.
> I am probably the only man that wanted to intervene that you barred
> twice thus far.  At least this time I have your signature, that and
> Mr. Herron’s and Mr. Costello.  Everybody knows I ran against Mr.
> Herron in the election of the 38th parliament.  And his lawyer,
> another Queen’s Counsel, David Lutz never answered me.  So I filed the
> very same documents that I served upon Mr. Herron and David Lutz in
> 2004.  That said, at that time, I believe you were the lawyer for the
> Saint John utilities.
>
>     Anyway, Mr. Furey of NB Power, in his opposition to my intervening
> this time, didn’t think my whistle blowing efforts against KPMG
> amounted to anything, even though I gave you the proof I was
> conferring with Diane Lebouthiller, the Commissioner of Revenue
> Canada.  Well if you don’t think a whistle blower who understands the
> malice of a law firm and an accounting firm has the right to
> intervene, who also owns property here and is a ratepayer, I don’t
> know who is.  If you had said such things of Stephen Harper, he would
> consider it libel.  So do I.
>
>     The other two fellows that signed, Mr. Herron and Mr. Costello are
> not lawyers.  But Mr. Costello and Mr. Ewing both worked for Bell
> Aliant.  If you looked at the documents I sent, I even had a request
> for information from their former lawyer for Bell back in 2004.  It
> took them four days to print my files.
>
>     Anyway, when I first intervened in the 357 Matter, and you asked
> me why I intervened, I introduced myself.  And I said every lawyer in
> the room knows who I am.  And you do.  And you did not stop me from
> intervening in the 357 Matter and I thank you for that.  I am still an
> intervener in that Matter.
>
>     The next hearing they take -- or Mr. Furey takes documents from
> the 357 Matter, takes out certain documents, uses them against me and
> you barred me without one word in writing.  I opposed you delaying the
> 357 Matter with a proper motion and you never answered that motion.
> When you barred me just before you were done, you never put anything
> in writing.  So the last time I said, fool me once shame on you, fool
> me twice shame on me.  Now Mr. Furey filed a bunch of documents and
> then accused me of things I did not say from a transcript where I was
> never given a recording of it.  I never threatened to kill anyone.
> Who are you people to say any different.  That said, the last thing I
> said to you, Mr. Gorman, is do you understand the documents that are
> already on file.  You wouldn’t answer me.
>
>     Mr. Herron, who I have debated in several debates, looked like a
> deer in the headlights.  He wouldn’t say one word the whole time we
> were there.  As I explained to you, this is a rate increase hearing.
> When -- the last meeting we had at the 357 Matter, none of you guys
> knew what to do because Mr. Gallant wanted to be Premier again.  His
> people appointed you to be Chair again.
>
>     David Coon, the -- who had lots to say about NB Power when he was
> just a guy, was now opposing Mr. Gallant’s promise to freeze rates for
> at least three years.  Well Mr. Gallant isn’t Premier.  However, a
> Cabinet Minister’s wife, you allowed to intervene halfway through a
> hearing.  Interesting.  Then as soon as Mr. Higgs becomes Premier, NB
> Power all of a sudden wants a rate increase.  Ain’t that interesting.
> Where is the Green Party.
>
>     Now when I first intervened in the 357 Matter, you didn’t want my
> friend Gerald Bourque to intervene because he is a leader of a
> fledgling political party.  He is still intervening.  Gerald Bourque,
> my friend Roger Richard who I will back up till the cows come home and
> I all ran in the last provincial election.  My friend Roger Richard
> clearly stated his issues were Smart Meters.  You should still not
> allow Smart Meters until the 357 Matter is heard.  I am still an
> intervener there.
>
>     I will address your libel against me in the proper venue.  In my
> opinion that’s federal court.  You are a Queen’s Counsel, you are
> probably aware that New Brunswick does not have a constitution.  I
> filed the documents that proved that I was involved in a National
> Energy Board matter in Saint John while you were a counsellor for the
> Utilities.  Mr. Morrison, who is hearing a trial of a friend of mine’s
> murder, Dick Oland, was NB Power’s lawyer at the National Energy Board
> hearing.  Did not surprise me when Mr. Furey took out his boss’
> documents from those days.  He used to work for Brad Green.  And yet
> inserts a judgment by Mr. Morrison of Patterson & Palmer about barring
> some woman to speak because she is frivolous and vexatious.  I don’t
> know why you think because some woman is frivolous and vexatious that
> I am too.  I am no less a man than you.
>
>     Now as far as these people in New Brunswick goes, I do speak on
> behalf of my fellow New Brunswicker.  The average income, from what I
> read in CBC, of a New Brunswicker is about 31,000.  I bet you there is
> not one soul in this room that makes over double that.  From these --
> most folks to make a salary of 31,000, it is comprised of a lot of
> people that make a lot less than 31,000 and then a lot of people that
> make a lot more, like the people in this room.  But a lot of people
> are like me, seniors getting by on old Age pensions and Canada Pension
> or people working at Tim Hortons and trying to raise a couple of kids.
> And a lot of folks have to balance their heat bill versus their
> grocery bill or their pharma bill.  And yet NB Power has got all kinds
> of money for their highest paid employee, a Yankee who makes like
> $750,000 to invest in mini nucs and try to peddle them around the
> world.  Well the last thing I know about NB Power, its mandate, is to
> provide my fellow New Brunswickers reliable energy at a reasonable
> price.  You make lots of electricity now, in fact, you sell it to
> other jurisdictions.  I used to be in business.  I would like to have
> $1.7 billion in sales, owed 5 billion.  I think I would get out of
> debt pretty quick.  You are supposed to have 20 percent equity before
> you invest in Mactaquac.  Just from what I look at the books, what
> KPMG says we have for assets I think is what, 6.7 billion, book value
> nearly 5 billion.  Well the difference between book value and what the
> assets are, you are already over 20 percent equity.  There is no need
> for a price increase.  There is no need to borrow money to invest in
> mini nucs for the benefit of a bunch of Yankees.  I find all of this
> very aggravating.  The reason that you bar me is because I sue lawyers
> and love to argue.
>
>     Mr. Gorman, you and I will meet in another court.  In my humble
> opinion, you need a lawyer.  Good evening.
>
>   CHAIRMAN:  Thank you, Mr. Amos.  All right.  Next we will have Frank
> Jopp.
