- Since 2020, #UofT contracted out cleaning in an additional 27 buildings at the St. George campus, cutting good jobs and creating more poverty-wage jobs. Does that sound like "equity, fairness and justice?" #PractiseWhatYouTeach @CUPEOntario @fairwagesnow @DecentWorkHlth
- Our leaders just delivered a petition signed by a majority of front line service workers across three campuses asking @UofT to stop contracting out cleaning work to for-profit companies! #DecentWorkForAll #PeopleBeforeProfits @CUPEOntario @fairwagesnow
- “University of Toronto has both a responsibility to our community and the clear capacity to end contracting out” - @FredHahnCUPE
- Replying to @cupe3261VIDEO: hundreds of frontline workers have signed this petition calling for Decent Work because throughout the pandemic the university is continued to contract out cleaning services to for-profit companies that pay 30% lesson wages compared to in-house caretakers #Justice4Workers
00:00 - Our main bargaining unit, the full-time and part-time unit, voted overwhelmingly in favour of potential strike action. We hope top decision-makers at U of T will agree to do the right thing for workers at U of T, which includes ending contracting out and protecting good jobs.
- More than 1000 people JUST TODAY have already sent a message to U of T's top decision maker demanding good jobs and limits to contracting out. Let's keep up the pressure. Join us!
- U of T is feeling the pressure! But we can't stop now. Take action by sending a message directly to U of T's top decision-makers and tell them to sign a fair deal that protects good jobs.
- We are proud to support @fairwagesnow and @DecentWorkHlth to raise labour standards for all in Ontario. The provincial low wage floor enables privatization in publicly-funded institutions. Raising the floor goes hand in hand with demanding better from public institutions. ✊Replying to @fairwagesnowJoin the movement to fight for a $20 minimum wage, 10 permanent paid sick days and decent work for all: justice4workers.org/movement #CDNPoli #Justice4Workers
- "Why would you teach and support equity to such a high standard and degree but not provide it in the same ways?" - Diana Medeiros, daughter of CUPE 3261 member We agree. The fight is not over! rabble.ca/labour/u-of-t-… via @rabbleca
- Eugenia knows she can retire with dignity, but too many women of colour are in poverty wage jobs with few benefits. Contracting out cleaning @UofT serves private profits, not workers or the university community Sign our petition here to support good jobs goodjobsuoft.com
- New report from CUPE shows universities and colleges impoverishing vulnerable workers. This is why we're fighting for #Justice4Workers and to end contracting out at UofT!
- Great to see CUPE 3261 members and their families at our BBQ today! So inspiring to hear @FredHahnCUPE @CUPEOntario recognizing our members' fight for good jobs and for a good future for workers at U of T 💪🏿💪🏽💪🏼
