CUPE 2278 is organizing Research Assistants, Work Learn students, and more!
Some very exciting news out of our sibling local over at CUPE 2278: they have begun a campaign to have the remaining student workers who aren’t covered by a collective agreement to join their union! The campaign officially began at the start of the month, but the kick-off was on Imagine Day and the reception has been incredible – with some nice coverage by the Ubyssey. If you want to learn more, head on over to their website, sign up to help, or give them a follow on social media.
