We do important work to make our university’s community a world class institute of higher education. Our working conditions are our students’ learning conditions.
Your Bargaining Committees (Units 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7), representing thousands of educators at UofT, St. Michael’s College, and Victoria College, are preparing to negotiate improvements to your next collective agreement and they are seeking your input. No personal information will be shared with your employer.
One of the most important principles of a union is unity. It is through our unity – across disciplines, across departments, across campuses, and across bargaining units – that we have the power to make our university communities better places to work. For years, your employer has engaged in a pattern of bargaining that divides our power, even though we have many common interests.
The leadership of CUPE 3902 is committed to breaking this pattern of division, but it will require every one of us to unite. As long as the status quo exists, so will inequality and disrespect in our workplaces. We cannot allow this to continue.
Our collective work starts with completing this survey. If you have any questions, please call 416-593-7057 or email organize@cupe3902.org and an organizer will follow up with you.
In solidarity,
Your CUPE 3902 bargaining committees have committed to coordinate their bargaining efforts, presenting a united front to the University of Toronto, St. Michael’s College, and Victoria College. This strategy will provide all of us with the strength and unity required to achieve our goals.
The membership is the most important part of any bargaining process, and your feedback is important.
