TO ALL CUPE CHARTERED ORGANIZATIONS
Dear Sisters, Brothers, and Friends:
Members of CUPE 1281-33 have been on strike since October 27, 2025. Their employer, the York University Faculty Association, came to the table with more than 100 concessions.
While many of the concessions were eventually withdrawn, these CUPE members are still fighting for key proposals that involve job security, health and safety, and harassment and discrimination.
We are appealing to CUPE chartered organizations across the country to send letters of support, and to give a financial contribution to CUPE 1281-33 members. Financial support can be sent to CUPE 1281-33, c/o Gavin Nowlan, Secretary-Treasurer, 25 Wood Street, Suite 102, Toronto, Ontario M4Y 2P9. Electronic funds can be sent to secretarytreasurer@cupe1281.ca.
In solidarity,
 MARK HANCOCK National President |
 CANDACE RENNICK National Secretary-Treasurer |
