Academic Contract Workers at Brock University
Everyone is welcomed to join all the unions across campus in a luncheon and discussion. Far too often we are separated by jobs and departments, and we all want the same thing, strong working conditions and respect. CUPE 4207, 1295, OSSTF, IATSE and other unions on campus are offering a free luncheon in the Pond Inlet April 1st, 2025 between 12pm – 1:30pm.
All members are welcomed to learn the results of the bargaining survey. Presentations will be at 11am and at 5pm in Welch Hall 325. A discussion will follow where executive and bargaining team members will answer questions.
