Collective bargaining for Units 1, 2, & 3 is about to heat up! CUPE 3903’s bargaining with York has several stages that are important to keep your eye on as a member:
- Surveys, BT elections, drafting bargaining proposals
- Earliest possible notice to bargain: In this bargaining cycle for CUPE 3903, that’s June 1st, 2026.
- Bargaining with the employer begins!
- Strike Mandate Vote: legal requirement to strike, but generally always necessary even with no strike to get the employer to bargain seriously
- Conciliation: a third party can help the sides get closer
- Ratification OR strike vote
