In the latest round of bargaining, the bargaining team was successful in both making the fund permanent while also securing full union control over the fund!
SASSF is now a $50,000 fund annually given to our Union’s Trans Feminist Action Caucus (TFAC) in order to support survivors of sexual and/or gender-based violence. This fund is open to all members of the local, regardless of gender identity; you do not need to be a TFAC member to apply to this fund.
As a result of the bargaining team’s victory, TFAC members voted at the January 2022 TFAC meeting to increase the annual limit for applicants to $3000 and remove the lifetime limit attached to this fund.

The Trans Feminist Action Caucus (TFAC) is an autonomous body of CUPE 3903 that consists of all women, trans, gender queer and gender variant members of the Local.
