If you’ve signed a card we urge you to do the next thing.  Come out and make your mark in support of Unionizing GRAs

Hello Sisters & Brothers.

As you all know, both the TA (Unit 1) and the Sessional (Unit 2) Collective Agreements (CAs) expire at the end of this month (August 31st).  The current CAs continue in force till new CAs are negotiated.

That is what we are embarking on today with the employer.  We have prepared a presentation for opening this round of bargaining. Click Here To Read Our Full Presentation.

Now more than ever we need your support.

Drop by the office to find out what you can do to help.

In Solidarity

Your Executive and Your Bargaining Team

Hello Sisters & Brothers.

We would like to inform you that, as agreed to at the last set of negotiations (yes in 2008!) with the employer, there is finally a CENTRALIZED JOB POSTING & APPLICATION PROCESS.  As of now, all Sessional and Teaching Assistant Job Postings can be found on the Central Website at the following Links:

Click Here for Sessional Job Postings

Click Here for TA Job Postings

As soon as things settle, we will again be printing each one and posting them outside our office as usual.

In Solidarity,

Your Executive

Hello Sisters and Brothers,

Hope you are all doing well and summer is treating you kindly.

We want to let you know that as of Monday, July 26th, the CUPE 3913 office will be closed for its annual summer closure.

The RA drive will of course continue at a hectic pace, so if you are an RA contact us to sign a Union Card.

Please know that we will still be regularly checking our mail, email and voicemail, and will reply to any urgent issues as soon as possible.

The office will reopen Monday, August 23, 2010.

We hope that you have a good and restful summer.

In solidarity,
Your Executive, Bargaining Team, and Organizing Team
