A MESSAGE TO MEMBERS FROM THE CUPE 3903 HEALTH & SAFETY COMMITTEE
As we return to work on February 2nd, the fact that we were legislated back after such a lengthy and bitter strike means that many of us enter our work spaces with a degree of fear and trepidation. It is very difficult to know what to expect from staff, students, faculty, managers and even our own members.

As many of you know, the provincial legislature has been recalled and our members are faced with the possibility of Back to Work Legislation. Members will likely have many questions about this, and so this townhall is being organized to try and address member concerns.

All members of CUPE 3903 are encouraged to attend a Town Hall meeting to understand, discuss and explore all our options.

WHAT: Townhall Meeting

WHEN: Monday, January 26: 6pm-9pm

WHERE: Trinity St. Paul Church, 427 Bloor Street West
(go to the Spadina Subway station, exit and walk one block west of Spadina, on the south side of Bloor)

PLEASE CONTACT YOUR MPP (all parties) before the legislature reconvenes on Sunday, Jan. 25th, at 1pm to vote on legislating CUPE 3903 back to work.

Since CUPE 3903 members voted down York University’s sub-standard contract offer on January 19 and 20th, the University Administration has refused to negotiate. They just waited for back to work legislation.

Let your MPP know, this maneuver devalues education, the labour process, and democracy itself.

AUTOMATED EMAIL to your MPP to reject Back-to-Work Legislation (easy to use automatic form: http://demandastance.com/cupe/

OR - LINK HERE to find the contact info for your Member of Provincial Parliament.
