Majority Petition

Contract academic workers say: UNITED WE FIGHT!

We, the undersigned members of CUPE 3902 from Units 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7, support our bargaining teams in their demands to make our workplaces fairer for everyone.

We are the contract academic workers who teach and research at St Michael’s College, Victoria College, and the University of Toronto, including OISE and New College. Despite doing similar work, there are great disparities in the working conditions in each unit. Without all of us, the Universities would not function.

We call on the University of Toronto, St. Michael’s College, and Victoria College to agree to the proposals our bargaining teams have tabled. We are united in creating a fairer UofT community. Our demands are clear. We want fair pay, more opportunities for advancement and job security, increases to benefits and protections, and respect for all members of Units 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7.

Upcoming Events:

Strike Mandate Vote

The strike mandate vote is a critical step in the bargaining process, and it gives your Union the right to call for job action in the event that your employer refuses to reach a fair deal.

The University will never agree to your demands—no matter how reasonable or necessary—unless they see that you and your coworkers are serious about your proposals and prepared to take action to win a fair contract. If you and your coworkers participate in the vote and an overwhelming majority say “yes” to a strike mandate, it sends a strong message of worker unity and organization to U of T, and it puts your Bargaining Committee in a more powerful position to make critical gains at the bargaining table.
