TORONTO, ON – After months of negotiations, the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) 3261 has reached a tentative agreement for more than 100 warehouse and retail workers at the University of Toronto Press and Bookstore.

The agreement, once ratified by CUPE members and their employer, will avoid a rare strike at Canada’s oldest university publisher, distributor and retailer.
