Grievance Stories

An essential part of CUPE 3903’s work is to file grievances against violations of the Collective Agreement. The purpose of this form is to gather stories from individual members about these grievances. We’re looking to understand members’ experiences rather than the specifics and how of a given grievance, as we need to maintain confidentiality of grievances following the rules outlined in Article 6 of our Collective Agreements.

This information is being gathered as part of a larger campaign to understand the services your dues pay for. Stories shared will help promote the benefits of being in CUPE 3903 and make a case that the union needs more income to continue supporting members.

Please share your stories with us!

Questions? Contact Melvin Chan, Secretary-Treasurer, at sectreasurer3903@gmail.com.
