Strike is Over!
Dear Members
The results of the November 8th and 9th ratification vote are as follows. This vote was conducted under the protocols laid out in the local?s bylaws, monitored by an external supervisor and counted by two elected scrutineers. It represents the democratic will of the membership of this local. This vote has been the latest step in an ongoing democratic process.
The members have voted 58% in favour of accepting the Employer?s offer.
The Canadian Union of Public Employees, local 3906 has accepted McMaster?s University?s latest offer.
WHAT NOW?
The membership of this local has opted to accept the employer?s contract and, as a result, cease strike activity effective immediately. We will be meeting the Employer at 10 A.M. tomorrow to negotiate a back-to-work protocol that will set forth the conditions by which members will resume their regular duties as teaching and research assistants. Please contact our strike office at 905-528-2873 if you have questions about returning to work. Details of this agreement will be made available as soon as possible. Please continue to check the blogs and your email for information.

In solidarity,
Mary Ellen Campbell
President, CUPE 3906

Everyone knew that except for the hardcore unionists. This just puts them in their place.

About time this happens! What a waste of one whole week. All this has caused was inconvenience to students in terms of classes and commuting. *sigh.

I would also like to say thanks to all of the TA's who worked during the strike. I and many others appreciate your concern for your students.
Thank you!

My TAs need to turn down the suck. In fairness though, I dont have every TA as my TA so I assume I got some of the shy/insecure ones...
... Except for my two scabs, they are actually really good TAs.
... donkey show over : ( ....
