The workers have been bargaining since November 2025 and have met with a government mediator, but Chartwells still refuses to make a fair offer. Chartwells is a multi-billion-dollar company. They can afford to provide fair compensation for important work. We should expect nothing less from employers in our community, especially at a prestigious institution like Acadia.
