Unit 1 Strike Mandate VOTE
Dec 4 @ 8:00 pm – Dec 11 @ 8:00 pm

Unit 1 Strike Mandate Vote

Why a Strike Mandate Now? A strong strike mandate does not mean going on strike. It means giving your U1 bargaining team the power to demand better, and ensuring the employer finally takes our issues seriously. Historically, at CUPE 4207 and across the postsecondary sector, strong strike mandates are the single most effective tool to secure a fair deal without job action.

Your Vote Matters! Voting opens on Thursday, Dec 4th at 8:00 PM and closes on Thursday, Dec 11th at 8:00 PM.

All current Unit 1 contract holders will be emailed a link to the electronic ballot. PLEASE CHECK YOUR BROCK EMPLOYEE EMAIL ACCOUNT – not your student account.

This vote is your opportunity to show the employer that Unit 1 members deserve wages that keep you afloat, benefits that protect your health, and workloads that respect your time and expertise.

We can achieve this together, with a strong, united YES vote.

In solidarity,

Your Unit 1 Bargaining Committee,

Tracy Kennedy (Chair), Kendra-Lee Dupuis, Brigitte Cecckin, Tracy Stewart, Darrin Sunstrum, Phil Wachel
