Post Docs apply to join CUPE
On Wednesday July 22, post doctoral fellows at the University of Toronto made application at the Labour Board to join CUPE.
Best in class!
According to data recently released by the Labour Program of Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, the recent Unit 1 Collective Agreement at UofT had the highest wage increase in the Education, Health and Social Services field in Ontario in 2009 (and, excluding settlements in oil and gas rich Alberta and Newfoundland, the highest in Canada). Congrats to our bargaining team!
CUPE 3902 defends post-docs
The University of Toronto may see post-docs as the low-wage, non-unionized labour pool of the future; we disagree. While the employer asserts that education work is a zero sum game - where if a post-doc gets a job, it means a grad student doesn’t - we know that both groups of educators can thrive at this university. CUPE 3902 invites the University into a conversation about how post-docs can be exposed to more teaching opportunities without disadvantaging another group.
