Get Involved! Join the Contract Action Team

The Contract Action Team (CAT) plays a vital role in building member engagement and power. CAT members (or “CATs”) help:

Share the latest updates from bargaining with members.
Serve as the eyes and ears of the workplace, providing feedback to the bargaining committee.
Keep coworkers informed and involved in actions that support our bargaining goals.

We need members across all workplaces and shifts who are passionate about winning a fair contract.

Sign up and become a CAT at 3261.cupe.ca/CAT.

If you have any questions or would like to get more involved in negotiations, please do not hesitate to contact your Unit Representative, Chris Stanford at press@cupe3261.ca

💪 United, We Win!

Your participation shows management that we’re united and determined to secure better wages and working conditions. Join us, share your priorities, and let’s build the momentum we need to win!

We encourage you to review your current collective agreements. They outline all the terms of conditions of your employment, including wages, grievance process, hiring/layoff rules, working hours, benefits, and more. As you review your agreement, start thinking about what changes YOU want to see in the upcoming round of bargaining.

See the collective agreements below:

If you have questions or would like to get involved, please reach out to me, your U of T Press Unit Representative, Chris Stanford, at press@cupe3261.ca, or contact the CUPE 3261 office.
