MoveUp “After Strike” Updates, August 3, 2023
Congratulations to our colleagues at MoveUp on the membership ratification of their long and hard fought for agreement!
Staff still on strike, still going without income
Our colleagues at MoveUP remain on strike. Despite having resolved the main reason for walking out, the employer now insists on including a clause in the "return to work" agreement that gives them the right to discipline and punish staff for actions during the strike.
Capilano Faculty Association continues to support MoveUp’s Strike and urges you to join the call for an end to the strike.
The Capilano University Faculty Association (CFA) wishes to express its continued and unwavering support and solidarity with the striking members of MoveUp.
