.@UofT cannot function without the teaching assistants, caretakers, library workers, course instructors, cafeteria workers, hospitality workers, and more. But these workers, like so many other workers, are increasingly precarious, overworked, undervalued, and struggling to survive. Send a message to U of T: the working conditions for CUPE 3902, 3261, and 1230 members are your students’ learning conditions! #WeAreUofT weareuoft.com

Allan, prez of @cupe3261 says “service workers do all the heavy lifting - without us the university WONT operate!” Allan says if we cannot work and live in this country without respect and dignity, why are we here?

Solidarity to @cupe3261 education workers negotiating a new contract with @uoft. The ask is simple: 1) stop contracting out good jobs; 2) directly hire UofT employees to ensure functional, clean & safe buildings; 3) increase good jobs to meet growing needs. Kākoʻo e nā hoa!✊🏾

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 xitter.gq/cupe3261/status/159074…

Doesn’t sound like equity, fairness, and justice to me. Fair wages now!
