Aug 31 Rally for CUPE 2361
12:00 PM - 2:00 PM Western University 1151 Richmond Street London, ON N6A 3K7
We, the members of CUPE Local 2361 are proud to create a healthy, safe and accessible campus for students at Western University. As caretaking, landscape services and trades workers, we maintain the buildings and grounds where you live, work and study.
Western is struggling with an understaffing crisis caused by low wages and high workloads. You see the effects when rooms aren’t cleaned, toilets aren’t working and greenspaces are overgrown. The situation is unsustainable.
Already, nearly two-thirds of us work other jobs to make ends meet, and one-third are actively seeking employment elsewhere. As the cost of living skyrockets and Western fails to match wages for the same positions at other London employers, the situation will only get worse.
You deserve better from your university. And we deserve better from our employer.
Please take a minute to support the workers who support your campus life. Send a letter to Western decision-makers now and ask them to negotiate a fair deal.
