Teaching Assistants to vote on University Settlement Proposal

The University has made a Settlement Proposal in its negotiations with CUPE Local 3906 representing Teaching Assistants at McMaster. The union has agreed to submit this proposal to a vote at a General Membership meeting to be held next Thursday, October 26th. No strike will occur until this vote has been conducted.

If McMaster's 2,500 Teaching Assistants vote in favour of the University's offer, a formal ratification vote will then be held. If the offer is rejected, a strike could be called by the union as early as Friday, October 27th.

Details of the meeting and the University's Settlement Proposal will be communicated as soon as arrangements for the meeting are confirmed.
