With an incredible turnout, U of T Press workers have voted 90%+ YES to authorize strike action.
In a historic first, our three bargaining units – representing 130+ workers at the U of T Press (UTP) Bookstores and Distribution Warehouse – are fighting for a fair contract as ONE. The vote comes after months of negotiations where the employer has refused to make meaningful movement on key issues, including fair wages, a real path to full-time work, and improved benefits.
The negotiating committees will all be going to the table on Monday with a strong and united mandate that management needs to do better and respond to our demands to deliver a fair agreement, otherwise we will be willing to escalate.
