Let's celebrate the launch of Carleton's 75th Anniversary by reminding everyone that the university works because we do. 

As bargaining continues to heat up, let's make sure that our we are heard. Contract Instructors are the second lowest paid in this province, Teaching Assistants see their take-home pay diminished year after year. Join us in making it clear that we deserve fair working conditions! 

CUPE 4600 General Membership Meeting

January 19 in Herb Gray Lounge (2nd floor of Loeb)

from 3pm - 5pm

All members are invited to this GMM. Come find out the latest development from the bargaining table, information about the strike vote, news about Carleton requesting conciliation for bargaining, and what our union's next steps are going to be. Members of the bargaining teams and the executive will be present to answer questions and give updates.  We will also get updates from the Strike Committee as well as the Mobilization Committee. 

This will be the last GMM before we head to a strike vote. A strong showing of support from the membership will push Carleton to negotiate fairly and give our members the deal they deserve. See you there, folks! 

Starting in January, every Monday will be union night at Mike's Place (the grad bar). Join us for some 5$ pints, free nachos and cheap vegetarian food! Come talk shop, hang out, and meet the folks who are willing to strike and agitate to support each other! Look for the friendly people wearing CUPE 4600 shirts and come say hi. Sometimes we do things that are not meetings! This initiative is in partnership with the Grad Students Association

first meeting

Tuesday Nov. 29th

2:30pm

Tory 236

open to all members of both units

The strike Committee is going to be holding it's first meeting of this bargaining round.  

Unit 1 and Unit 2 are joining forces for the strike committee. Members of both unit are invited to come to the first meeting and help us prepare our union for potential job action. We have a lot of work to do, including training our picket captains, registering people who are willing to come out for strike duty, organizing a strike vote, and generally ensure that we are ready for whatever ends up happening with the negotiation process. Joining this committee does not necessarily mean that we are going on strike for sure, but it is very important that we have our ducks in a row if we do end up having to take that route.
