At Friday's special General Membership Meeting, YUFA members expressed a desire to support CUPE members' efforts to achieve a fair and equitable settlement as quickly as possible. To that end, we are sharing information about two opportunities to support CUPE members, for any YUFA members who are interested:

  1. Call to organize YUFA visits to department-based picket lines
  2. Cross-Campus Alliance solidarity visit

CUPE picket lines take place week days from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 a.m. at all entrances to the Keele campus and to Glendon College.

If you're interested in organizing/being notified about a visit by YUFA members to the picket line where CUPE colleagues in your department are picketing, please email [email protected] (subject line: CUPE support).
