Re: Postdoctoral Fellows vote for trade union certification
On April 26, 2013, Postdoctoral Fellows voted on whether they wished to proceed with a CUPE application for trade union certification. Yesterday afternoon, the ballot boxes were opened and the votes tallied. The results were in favour of trade union certification.
CUPE will represent a set of the Postdoctoral Fellows, and we await documentation from the Labour Relations Board confirming the membership of this group.
The University of Toronto values all of its Postdoctoral Fellows, thanks them for their thoughtful and careful assessment of unionization, and respects their choice.
We will now work with the Union on the next steps and we’ll be back in touch as soon as possible with an update.
In the meantime, information regarding this process will be posted on the ‘Labour Relations’ section of the Human Resources & Equity website.
