Unit 3 + Unit 7 Ratify Collective Agreements!

The ratification vote results are in: 

Unit 3: 92% YES to adopting the tentative agreement as your new Collective Agreement

Unit 7: 96% YES to adopting the tentative agreement as your new Collective Agreement

The Unit 3 and Unit 7 Collective Agreements (CAs) come into effect on Monday April 14th, the first business day after ratification, and some gains are retroactive to September 1, 2024. For more about what happens next, check out Bargaining Bulletin #12.


Unit 3 + Unit 7 Ratification Vote: April 8-11

Your Unit 3 and Unit 7 bargaining teams reached tentative agreements on the eve of the April 1st strike deadline.  

The ratification process is now underway, which means that members will vote on whether or not to approve the Tentative Agreement. Once ratified, the tentative agreement becomes your Unit’s Collective Agreement for 2024-2027.

The online poll closes on Friday, April 11th, 2025, at 6:00pm.



Unit 3 + Unit 7 Ratification Meetings – Tuesday, April 8, 2025

Now that Unit 3 and Unit 7 have each reached a Tentative Agreement (TA), it is up to you as the members to vote to adopt your respective TA, after which it would then become your Collective Agreement for 2024–2027.

Just like the strike mandate vote, it’s a two-step process: first there’s a membership meeting where you and your coworkers decide whether to send the TA to a referendum so that all members can vote. If accepted by the attendees, the TA will be sent to the entire membership for approval by online referendum.

STRIKE DEADLINE SET FOR
UNITS 2, 3, AND 7

Because your Employer hasn’t yet considered key issues for Units 2, 3 and 7, your Bargaining Teams asked the Ministry of Labour to issue a No Board Report, therefore starting a countdown of 17-days to potential strike or lockout.

The strike deadline for Units 2, 3, and 7 is 12:01 AM on April 1st (it’s not an April Fool’s joke).

If a strike happens it will be because U of T and Victoria College have refused to address systemic problems that prevent us from providing a world-class educational experience. If there’s a strike or lockout, you should stop your bargaining unit work (your work as a Unit 2, 3, or 7 member) and join your coworkers on the picket line.

SIGN UP FOR STRIKE BENEFITS AND PAY

If you are a member in good standing in Units 2, 3, 4, 6 or 7 and currently have a contract-in-hand, you are eligible for strike benefits and pay!

In order to qualify for Strike Pay, you must complete your Strike Pay Application Form! Check out our Strike Pay FAQ.


STRIKE MANDATE VOTE RESULTS!

Between March 5-7, 2025, you and your coworkers voted overwhelmingly to approve a strike mandate. This means you’ve granted your local’s Executive Committee the ability to call for a strike in the event that your employer refuses to reach a fair deal at the bargaining table.

Your message to your employer is clear: Contract Academic Workers at University of Toronto, St. Michael’s College, and Victoria College are prepared to take action in order to win the fair contracts that you deserve!
