(1) “Respect and Compassion” Does Not Include Violence

CUPE 3903 wishes to state in the strongest possible terms that violence towards those engaged in lawful picketing activity is never acceptable. While we understand the frustration some members of the campus community feel, there is never a place in which it is okay to put peoples’ lives in danger.

Read the full statement for more information.

(2) Delegates Needed for CUPE Ontatio Convention

CUPE Ontario’s yearly convention is taking place from May 30 to June 2 (with the University Workers’ Caucus on May 29) at the Toronto Sheraton. CUPE 3903 is looking for delegates to send to this important convention.

We can send a maximum of 10 delegates. Given the time constraints, delegates will be selected on a first-come-first-serve basis. If you would like to be a delegate, please email Dan at recsec.cupe3903@gmail.com as soon as possible.
