DNV and CNV Bargaining Update – June 16, 2025

June 16, 2025

Dear CNV and DNV CUPE 389 Members,

The CUPE Local 389 DNV Bargaining Committee has met with the District of North Vancouver on two occasions and we have four additional bargaining dates scheduled within the next month.

The members of your DNV Bargaining Committee are:

  • Tony Volpe
  • Kolton Smith
  • Johnny Tran
  • Ryan Wood
  • Russell Green, National Representative

 

The CUPE Local 389 CNV Bargaining Committee has met with the City of North Vancouver on two occasions and we have two additional bargaining dates scheduled within the next month.

The members of your CNV Bargaining Committee are:

  • Tony Volpe
  • Amir Bagheri
  • Brian Warman
  • Teresa Ogrodnick
  • Michael Gonzales
  • Russell Green, National Representative

 

The tone at both tables has been positive so far and the Union and Employers have agreed to approach this round of bargaining in a collaborative fashion. Our goal is to negotiate a new agreement that achieves meaningful gains for our members and helps address your key bargaining priorities.

Your support matters

Even in these early stages, your support makes a difference. Here’s how you can help:

  • Stay informed: Read bargaining updates and emails so you know what’s happening
  • Talk to your coworkers: Help share accurate information and encourage others to stay engaged too
  • Attend union meetings or info sessions: Your presence shows support and it’s a chance to share your feedback, questions, or concerns directly with the Committee

Please watch for additional updates and let us know if you have any questions.

In solidarity,

The CUPE Local 389 DNV and CNV Bargaining Committees
