Hamilton CUPE Council- Local 9114

A voice for CUPE members and locals living and working in Hamilton, Burlington, Haldimand & Norfolk. A new council, a new vision

[CUPE Local 3906 @cupe_3906]

A publicly funded university in Ontario just declared bankruptcy.

Terminated 100 faculty members, even more support staff. Ended over 65 academic programs.

The Ontario PC government just sat down and watched it all happen. Did nothing.

Let that sink in for a moment.

Sessional Faculty and Hourly-Rated Sessional Music Faculty at McMaster University, comprising CUPE Local 3906 (Unit 2), voted 81% in favour of providing their Bargaining Committee with a strike mandate should negotiations the table fail.

The Ford Conservatives are trying to pass Bill 124: an act to strip workers of their right to free collective bargaining and force them to accept contracts that don't keep pace with inflation.

^ Send the employer a message: end the lockout! 🚫🔒

Members of CUPE Local 3625—Early Childhood Educators at Something Special Children’s Centre in Kingston—have been locked by their employer since last Friday.

A 'no-board' report has been requested, CUPE 3906 (Unit 1) will be in a legal strike position by late November. We hope to secure a fair and meaningful contract in mediation on November 19th

We’ve been told by @McMasterU that it doesn’t know if paid TA training is feasible. Seriously @ShitMcMacSays. We think that @MSU_McMaster & @MacGSA members deserve it. We’re confident @McMaster_MI can offer it, others univs do. #bettermac @theSilhouette

[CUPE Local 3906 @cupe_3906]

Hey @McMasterU- here’s another university encouraging its TAs to get more training for their 5 PAID hours of pedagogical training. Are you guys still curious if TA training is feasible?

[CUPE Local 3906 @cupe_3906]

Hey @McMasterU- here’s a pic of paid TA training at Carleton. It’s time for a #BetterMac, and that’s one which includes paid TA training

[CUPE Local 3906 @cupe_3906]

Hey @McMasterU this Carleton account is becoming one of our favourites. A university employer encouraging its TAs to take paid training. Looks like such a concept is feasible 🤷🏻‍♂️ #BetterMac

[CUPE Local 3906 @cupe_3906]

@AdamFortais is PhD student and TA in Physics and Astronomy. Check out their new podcast "the CUPEcast" on https://t.co/yymUFFcgxm

Ep. 1 focuses on who CUPE is, our role on campus, and the current round of bargaining

[CUPE Local 3906 @cupe_3906]

It's absolutely disgusting that @fordnation cabinet ministers are getting a 14% retroactive wage increase while front-line public sector workers are capped at a 1% increase

More coverage on our historic strike vote and the #BetterMac campaign in this week’s @theSilhouette, with quotes from @n_t_shabs, @uniongrrl, and an embedded tweet by @AdamFortais https://t.co/5grXBhM91R

[CUPE Local 3906 @cupe_3906]

We think #McMasterU could rank even higher if it were to ensure paid anti-oppression training and pedagogical training was offered to ALL of its TAs. Seems like an important way to make a #BetterMac and increase the quality of teaching and learning.
@MSU_McMaster @MacGSA

[CUPE Local 3906 @cupe_3906]

🚨🚨🚨 The @MacGSA has released the following letter of support for CUPE 3906 🚨🚨🚨

Time for @McMasterU to negotiate a fair deal for TAs and RAs in lieu

Solidarity. No ifs, ands, or buts. ✊����✊🏿✊🏽 @CUPEOntario @osbcucscso

Fred Hahn​: "CUPE education workers are committed to the supports they provide in schools, restoring the services Conservatives have cut, and protecting public education for kids and families."
