UnionizeWLU

Official undergraduate committee of @PSAC_902. Dedicated to activism on campus and in the region

[UnionizeWLU @UnionizeWLU]

We are back!

Our committee members have been out with the @WLUNDP1961 to support the striking workers of CUPE 1656 and to protest the WCDSB trustees who are trying to push a motion to ban pride flags in schools.

[UnionizeWLU @UnionizeWLU]

They’re only delaying the inevitable. We will be victorious!

[UnionizeWLU @UnionizeWLU]

Apparently determined to make this process as long and arduous as possible, Laurier has hired union-busting lawyers to argue that our union vote was invalid, no matter the results. Here’s what you need to know. (1/4) 🧵

[UnionizeWLU @UnionizeWLU]

The case will be going to a hearing, scheduled for early July. We will not know the vote results and therefore not have a union until at least then. Instead of giving us the chance to negotiate a fair deal, Laurier is spending our tuition dollars on union-busting lawyers. (4/4)

[UnionizeWLU @UnionizeWLU]

We know Laurier doesn’t really have a case and thought they would drop it immediately. Things didn’t pan out that way. Laurier’s lawyers are sticking to their guns and the ballot box will not be opened until both parties or the OLRB agree on what an IA is. (3/4)

Happy May Day! It’s almost time for our meeting at the Labour Board on May 3. Wish us luck and expect more details soon!

Our certification meeting will be held on May 3rd in which parties will discuss the matter alongside OLRB representatives. Thanks you to all who voted!

[UnionizeWLU @UnionizeWLU]

The polls are now closed!

Laurier is arguing that Markers and Proctors are also considered Undergraduate Instructional Assistants. The matter will be settled at the Ontario Labour Relations Board. The OLRB has sealed the ballot box until parties agree on the bargaining unit

[OFL @OFLabour]

Support #CUPE233 members fighting for wage and pension fairness.
