A strike by teaching and research assistants and contract instructors could begin as soon as Monday.
As of Friday, Carleton had not provided a bargaining update on its website since Wednesday, when the university said it was “committed to negotiating fair compensation packages in a timely manner and has tabled significant, multi-year salary increases to both units. The parties have reached agreement on a number of issues and significant progress continues to be made.”that were marked as either “proceeding” — going ahead as scheduled — or “disrupted” — not going ahead — in the event of a strike.
CUPE also argues that Carleton does not have a centralized process for providing accommodations to union members who need them, with a “piecemeal” system in place that “has left many members feeling vulnerable to discrimination.” Both units have given bargaining teams strong strike mandates. Unit 1 voted 93 per cent in favour of a strike if the university does not sweeten its offer, and Unit 2 voted 88 per cent in favour, CUPE said.
