Members of one unit (out of three) forming CUPE Local 3903 at York University voted to approve the school’s latest offer but the national union has overturned the vote. In a strike that is all about issues like “job security” and “permanent tenured employment” the rank and file have been without pay cheques since March. Two of the units did not vote and the CUPE head office says there are unspecified “significant discrepancies” in vote. They called for an immediate re-vote but local unit members complained that would disenfranchise members who had to arrange their time more carefully. And these people actually have jobs.
