Dear CUPE 233 members,
UPDATE ON BARGAINING
The employer and the union have agreed to hold April 12, 2023 for mediation before our expected strike deadline. If the parties meet sooner than April 12, we will notify the membership.
INFORMATION PICKET AND RALLY FOR CUPE 233 AND OPSEU 596: OUR SOLIDARITY ACTION HAD AN IMPACT!
Great news – we got a good turnout of CUPE 233 members at our joint information picket yesterday afternoon asking the university to address our needs for pension fairness and inflationary wage increases in bargaining. We were joined by OPSEU 596, CUPE 3904, TMAPS, and TFA representing the TMU labour and student community, and got some earned media coverage about our bargaining. Thank you to all CUPE 233 members that showed up to this event.
A copy of our letter from the TMU campus coalition to the TMU Board of Governors (BoG) that was sent yesterday morning before our info picket and the next BoG meeting has been posted on our local website.
TAKE ACTION: SIGN AND SHARE OUR PETITION
