Potential TA Strike?
Just noticed this on Daily News

http://dailynews.mcmaster.ca /worth....cfm?I D=6864

Haven't heard too much from CUPE lately, though I checked out their blog and it seems like they and McMaster are pretty far apart on a lot of issues (a lot of the same ones they pushed in 2009).

Anybody have any details or know how likely another strike is or when it might come down?

There's a strike mandate vote taking place over the next couple of days.... but aside from that, no one really knows what will happen just yet. They're still in talks.

Right now, the union is just going around attempting to talk to members about a potential strike. They want to do a vote asking the union members whether or not they would be willing to strike over these issues, to put pressure on the university. It's not actually a strike vote. They're still a long way from actually striking.

Last year's strike was awful! You couldn't get on campus and/or were late for class

Just got this email. Seems like an agreement has been reached and there would be no strike

"We have reached a tentative agreement with the Employer in Unit 1 bargaining. The agreement is being recommended for ratification by both sides.

The details of the agreement will be released at a Special General Membership Meeting on Monday evening, location to be announced ASAP.

The ratification vote will open at the end of the meeting and will continue over Monday and Tuesday (location TBA).

A Bargaining Bulletin outlining the details of the deal will be released after the SGMM, and we will also hold info sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday (location TBA) to answer members’ questions about the deal.

Thanks to all of you for your support throughout this process, we couldn’t have done this without you!

In solidarity,
Your Bargaining Team"
