District of North Vancouver Bargaining Update
October 2, 2025
Dear DNV Members,
We’re reaching out to let you know where we are at with bargaining with the District of North Vancouver. We met with the District on September 25, 2025 where we presented a full offer for settlement.
What’s a full offer for settlement?
An offer for settlement is a complete package of proposals covering all outstanding issues at the bargaining table. It allows the Employer to see the entirety of the changes we are seeking all at once, instead of discussing individual changes one by one.
The offer for settlement presented by the Union included members’ key bargaining priorities, such as a fair wage increase and improvements to extended health and dental benefits. We believe the offer outlines a clear path to a fair agreement and will hopefully help move negotiations toward a timely conclusion.
What happens next?
We’re scheduled to meet with the District on October 24 for another day of bargaining. They’ve committed to responding to our full offer for settlement at this meeting. We’ll send another update after that session, and in the meantime if you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to reach out.
In solidarity,
The CUPE 389 North Vancouver District Bargaining Committee
