📢 Hello members and friends of CUPE5524 – Sessional Instructors, TAs, and RAs at the University of Waterloo! We are here with BIG NEWS! A TENTATIVE AGREEMENT HAS BEEN REACHED! 🎉🥳
This has come after YEARS of work, including a recent 41 hour bargaining session over 3 days that ended at 5am last night! Now, we are happy to announce that both units have a tentative agreement!
Keep in mind, a tentative agreement isn’t the final contract. Now, it goes to you, the members of CUPE5524, to vote on whether you wish to accept the agreement or not, so keep an eye on your email for more information!
If you vote in favour, this will become our first ever contract! Otherwise, we will be back to bargaining to get you the contract you want!
A huge thank you to EVERYONE on the bargaining team. This was an incredible amount of work, and it couldn’t happen without you!
