The “CUPE GRRLS” drawing featured here is a former Women’s Caucus logo from 1998, which was a predecessor to TFAC! The TFAC community is part of a vibrant lineage of gender inclusive spaces in our union. 🖤

CUPE Ontario members were proud to support CUPW on their picket lines over the past 4+ weeks. And regardless of government interference and overreach, CUPE Ontario will continue to support CUPW members as they fight for the deal that they deserve and that will help guarantee the future and security of all workers in Canada. We’re here for our CUPW comrades now and in the days ahead. ✊🏾📢

After striking for more than 2 weeks, Richmond Hill workers have ratified a new collective agreement! The contract includes a 10.25% wage increase over three years, plus hourly adjustments between $0.75 to $2.50 per hour for multiple positions, four full-time positions at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts, a Market Compensation Review and other monetary improvements. This is a huge victory not only for Richmond Hill workers, but for municipal workers everywhere. This strike shows what workers can achieve when we come together and have the courage to fight for better. Thank you to all the community members and labour movement allies that supported us throughout the strike and SOLIDARITY with workers everywhere who are still striking for a fair contract!

Is York rushing you? ⏱️ FGS recently told some faculties they’d be more aggressive in enforcing program completion timelines. This includes threats to de-enrol students & denying extensions. To fight back, check this spreadsheet, add info, & organize! 🤝 cupe3903.org/news/mapping-fg…

Share how the Faculty of Graduate Studies is enforcing milestones & timelines in your department!

While CUPE 905 members at the City of @myRichmondHill are on strike for fair wages that keep up with the cost of living, data shows that managers at the city have received double-digit raises over the past three years- some as high as 36% and 48%. “Some of the raises received by management add up to more than many of our members make in an entire year, yet we are told that they don’t have the money to pay their workers fairly," said Jake Matta, Chair of CUPE 905's Richmond Hill Unit. "All we are asking for is fair wages that keep up with inflation so that our members can afford to live in the community they work in.” cupe.on.ca/city-of-richmond-…
