Hello, General Membership of CUPE 5524 – Academic Workers at UW! We have a bit of a non-standard post for you all today, but we are currently actively looking for volunteers, and need your help!
Right now, we are looking for members for our CAT team! A CAT is a team of CUPE 5524 members from across your workplace, spanning every faculty and department. This team is responsible for communicating directly with other CUPE 5524 members in their work area to ensure they are fully informed and participating in collective bargaining.
Our CATS do a lot as a team! For example, they:
- Have one-on-one conversations with assigned coworkers and take notes
- Debrief conversations and outcomes with a lead organizer and input information into shared spreadsheets
- Assess the quantity and quality of member participation in your assigned area
Our CAT members are enthusiastic, committed to collective power, and are determined to push the union forwards. Want to help out? Contact us at cupe5524.catlead@outlook.com!
