Unit 1 Bargaining Updates:
February 2025 – The Unit 1 Bargaining Committee has met several times since December to discuss the issues and challenges for our members, and to create the Bargaining Survey. The Bargaining Survey was sent out to over 1300 Unit 1 contract holders on Mon, Feb 3rd, and we created a flyer with a QR code that has been posted to bulletin boards across campus. The survey closes on Feb 24th. Please be sure to complete it, as your voice matters!
The Bargaining Committee attended two full-day Bargaining Training sessions and a Strategic Planning Session with our CUPE National Representative to map out the bargaining process. We have three additional meeting days scheduled in March to analyze the survey results and to create the Priority Proposals, which we will present at the end of March. Stay tuned for date and location information.
