“It reads more like a charter for a reborn Dutch East India company than a document of the 21st century,”…in case you’re still wondering how colonial the whole plan is…

I highly recommend this workshop for Cupe3903 members. If you’re able to attend, please do so. Lots of hands-on learning and thoughtful engagement with a range of very real scenarios.

FUN FACT: Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

Important project. Curious to know if there are similar initiatives in universities in Canada (where I live)?

Why isn’t media paying attention to education in this #election2025? Provincial governments are starving all levels of public education, but you can’t have a robust democracy without a robust public education infrastructure. What’s happening in the US is a case in point of the path NOT to follow.

Don't forget, besides the bombs falling, people dying, & soldiers marching through, life continued as normal for many, many people during every major historical inflection point. I see a lot of y'all hoping that's you, and I want you to realize how fucked up that is. It's up to us to fix this.

They straight up black-bagged her in broad daylight. Her whereabouts are unknown. Pls don't pmo saying we're exaggerating about how dire shit is. Marching and calling reps will not cut it. We need to starve out the system and build parallel structures, fast.

Happy International Women’s Day! 💫 CUPE 3903 has a long history of women in our union fighting for real change in our workplace and our communities. Check out these archival photos of CUEW 3 (CUPE 3903’s predecessor) from an International Women’s Day rally and march in 1988. 📸 #50YearsOf3903
An aerial shot of a march down Queen Street in downtown Toronto, with marchers flanked by streetcars and vehicles. Marchers hold various banners, including one about abortion clinics and one that reads “CUEW”.Many rally attendees packed into a multi-tiered very full hall with speakers and banners, including a YWCA banner.Two closer shots of people marching, dressed in colourful light jackets and holding various banners.Many rally attendees, many of whom are holding colourful balloons. A socialist style artistic banner is displayed over a bannister.

If I told you there’s a medicine that can prevent: 90% of cervical cancers 90% of anal cancers 90% of HPV-caused oropharyngeal cancers 85% of vaginal cancers 90% of vulvar cancers 90% of penile cancers Would you be on board with it? Read more ⬇️ news.immunologic.org/p/rfk-jr-say...

RFK Jr says he wants to tackle chronic disease. His war on the HPV vaccine shows otherwise.
RFK Jr. profits by scaring people from a proven cancer prevention: that’s the opposite of combating chronic disease.

Really important opinion piece here. Post secondary education is at a similar crossroads in Ontario. The province’s explicit underfunding of education at all levels verges on the criminal at this point.

Is York rushing your studies? ⏱️ FGS recently told some faculties that they’d be more aggressive in enforcing program completion timelines. This includes threatening to de-enrol students & denying extensions. To fight back, check this spreadsheet, add info, & organize! cupe3903.org/news/mapping...
A collage-style graphic with the CUPE 3903 logo and an image of a hand holding a stopwatch. A QR code links to https://cupe3903.org/news/mapping-fgs-program-completion-timelines/. The graphic’s text reads: Stop York’s clock! York U is increasing pressure to de-enrol grad students and limit program timelines. Share how the Faculty of Graduate Studies is enforcing milestones & timelines in your department!
