How the mass firing of Mt A dining services workers echoes the situation at UNB last year

 On today’s show, we talk with Adrienne Paradis, a national servicing representative for CUPE, who shares the story of what happened last year when UNB, like Mount Allison, changed its food service provider without a guarantee for the collective agreements in place for workers. Paradis says the onus is on universities to “do the right thing”, and protect collective agreements through their Request for Proposals process.
