Ratification Vote Result - Strike Over
Quote:
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,

Just as I suspected.
Damn does CUPE look foolish now... they deserve it though.
Yay for the strike being over!

I suspect we won't be seeing any of the unionists on here now... I could be wrong, but I think they'll be pretty red-faced.

Yes!
Second time in a row this has happened to CUPE. Clearly their union members hate them.
I'm glad tutorials are back and most importantly I don't have to walk my lazy ass out to Main Street and stand on the corner to get my GO Bus.

Alright, alright the troll police is here.
Let's forget this ever happened and get back to our regularly scheduled classes, tutorials and labs. |

I'm not surprised that the majority voted for this result, since many TAs I knew were still working and continued to help students even with all of this going on. Thank you to them above all, and thank you to those who voted.
