Update from the picket line
May Day is International Workers’ Day! Read CUPE’s statement for May Day 2023 here: https://cupe.ca/event/may-day-international-workers-day
We received another donation today from CUPE Local 2424, representing administrative, technical, and library workers at Carleton University in the amount of $1,000. This is another CUPE local who went on strike back in 2018 over a similar issue that we are trying to fight for: preventing the employer from making unilateral changes to our pension plan.

University response to our letter to President Lachemi with health and safety concerns on campus
Please check your emails to see the response we received to our health and safety letter.
The employer has received our notice, so now we are prepared to start launching complaints and investigations should we have any concerns about campus safety.
Please continue to report on health and safety concerns/violations you may see on campus on the grounds or inside buildings (via window), especially of redeployed staff performing work of our bargaining unit. Please make sure to take a picture.
