CUPE 4207 Unit 5 reached a tentative agreement after nine hours of intensive negotiations. This outcome reflects the strength, unity, and determination of the Unit 5 Bargaining team throughout the bargaining process. The tentative agreement will be brought forward to members for ratification in the coming days.

CUPE 4207’s Strike Support Committee is meeting weekly to build our collective strength and ensure we are organized, informed, and ready to support members if job action becomes necessary. This is where planning happens; support strategies, member outreach, and coordination across our units.
Meetings are held every Monday at 1:00 p.m. All members are encouraged to participate. Getting involved is one of the most direct ways to build solidarity, stay informed, and help protect fair wages, job security, and working conditions.

Unit 5 members have delivered a strong mandate: 86% voted YES.
The Unit 5 Strike Mandate vote reflects a shared call for fair wages, job security, and reasonable class sizes that protect both workers and students. With conciliation set for Friday, January 23rd at the International Centre, we are urging the employer to come to the table prepared to address these priorities. Our members want a fair agreement, and they are united in standing up for quality education.
Learning Conditions Matter. Our Students Matter. Fair wages, job security, and reasonable class sizes are essential to maintaining high-quality education at Brock and in providing meaningful support to our students.
Calling all members!
Join in person or Zoom – November 26th at 4:30 p.m. for an important union meeting. A light dinner will be served in person in Plaza 600F.
We’ll provide bargaining updates, answer your questions about the process, and hold key elections:
We also have our Steward Elections!!!: Unit Stewards, Instructor Steward, International Student Steward, and Department Stewards. More information can be found in our bylaws 8.1.1 & 8.1.2 (pages 14-15). A list of departments can be found on pages 28-29.
Stewards are the heart of CUPE 4207. They’re the connection between members and the union by supporting coworkers, sharing updates, and making sure our collective agreement is respected. It’s a great way to build leadership experience, strengthen our union, and make a difference in your department.
If you care about fairness at work and want your coworkers’ voices heard, consider running for Steward. Your voice matters, and so does your leadership.
In order to vote, you must register 24 hours in advance to be eligible to vote either in person or online. You must be a Member in Good Standing to attend union meetings.
Your participation is essential — make sure your voice is heard!
