We envision a university community that offers a world class education in a world class learning environment.

CUPE 3261 works on behalf of many of the workers that help make the university community strong by standing up for good, stable jobs. The University of Toronto works because we do.

Our trustees are Renos Manolis, Danny Taveres, and Reddy Rose.

Trustees act as internal auditors, and meet at least once a year to review the local’s finances. The primary duty of Trustees is ensure that all union resources (money or assets) are used for legitimate union purposes as authorized by our membership and in accordance with our constitution and bylaws. The secondary function of Trustees is to review the way that the Secretary-Treasurer is doing their job and to suggest ways that the financial affairs of the local might be improved. 

The local periodically hosts training sessions to certify members to become shop stewards. If you are interested in becoming a shop steward for your workplace or campus, we encourage you to contact the union president to learn more. Full-time, part-time, contract, and casual members can all serve as union stewards.
