Dear members,
CUPE Ontario will be offering a “Fall School” between October 31st and November 5th in Toronto (click here for details!). If you are interested in courses on topics such as stewarding, health and safety, political activism, and more, please contact the CUPE 3261 office. The union will pay the cost for the course and – if approved by your employer – pay for your time off of work as well!
Our next general membership meeting will take place on Saturday, October 21, from 10:00am – 12:00pm at Sydney Smith Hall, room 1072 (100 St George St). Please come join us!
We are pleased to announce that after three days of voting on all three campuses, both Tentative Agreements, Casual and Full-time/Part-time have been ratified!
The Full-time/Part-time members voted 83% in favour of the agreement, and the Casuals voted 57% in favour.
We thank you so much for your active participation and support throughout this process. We could not have done this without you!
As for the issues we were not able to tackle in this round of bargaining – like ending contracting out on the St. George campus – we have no plans on giving up. We will keep up the fight, and we thank you for your continued support.
In Solidarity,
Your Full-time/Part-time and Casual bargaining team members
We apologize for the delay in confirming these locations!
