Tonight the union membership overwhelmingly supported the
unanimous decision of the bargaining team and the union executive
to reject the university’s final offer.
It’s clear that the university administration is pushing us to go
out on strike. Over the last three years, our members
have had to work harder with less job security and
fewer resources, said union Chairperson Christina Rousseau.
The union’s membership does more than 50% of the teaching
at York University. A press conference will be held at 8:30 a.m.,
Thursday, November 6 at 635
Petrolia Road (one block east of Keele, south of Steeles).
