Solidarity with CUPE 2361 – Western University Service Workers
CUPE 3261 stands in solidarity with the members of CUPE 2361, who courageously went on strike to advocate for fair treatment and improved working conditions at Western University.
The challenges faced by CUPE 2361 resonate deeply with us at CUPE 3261, as we recognize the vital role that caretaking, grounds, and trades workers play in maintaining a thriving campus environment. It is unacceptable that Western University has allowed a staffing crisis to persist, driven by low wages and unsustainable workloads, impacting both the workers and the entire campus community.
CUPE 3261 commends the strength and determination of CUPE 2361 in taking this bold step to demand a contract that acknowledges their invaluable contributions. We urge Western University to return to the bargaining table with a genuine commitment to addressing workers’ concerns and reaching a fair resolution that respects the dignity of all its employees.
In solidarity,
CUPE 3261 Executive
Join the 2024 Labour Day Parade!
Calling all CUPE 3261 members!
Labour Day is our time to rise! Join workers on September 2nd for the Toronto Labour Day Parade – a powerful march from downtown to the CNE, celebrating 151 years of solidarity and struggle.
With inflation soaring, inequality widening, and basic fairness under attack, workers are drawing a line in the sand. We’re marching to defy the austerity and privatization agenda that’s eroding our public services and driving up the cost of living.
This Labour Day, let’s paint the city pink! Join CUPE members from all walks of life and send a resounding message: enough is enough!
WHEN: Monday, September 2nd, 2024 at 9AM
WHERE: Section 8, West Side of University Ave., North from Armoury to Dundas St. W. (Marching to the CNE)
We’re fighting for workers, our communities, and a brighter future. Because we’re worth it!
