Information for TSSU Members About the Strike Vote
TSSU has announced a strike vote with its membership from November 5 to November 16.
More information can be found on the TSSU website. A strike vote is one of the most important ways members can participate in the collective bargaining process. A strike mandate (whether members can strike) is determined by the members who vote, not by the total size of the bargaining unit.
Members who do not participate leave the strike decision to those who vote, therefore, a strong turnout helps to ensure that the voting outcome accurately reflects the views of all members.
As part of the collective bargaining process, members may wish to review current bargaining history, as well as information about strike-related processes. TSSU has this type of information on its own website, and SFU has bargaining history and FAQs on the SFU Bargaining website. If strike action were ultimately taken, it could affect work, teaching, research, and other academic or employment-related responsibilities, as well as your pay. The nature and extent of those impacts would depend on the type and duration of any chosen job action decided by the union.
An informed and engaged membership helps ensure that decisions about the bargaining process are guided by the broadest possible representation of member perspectives.
Whether you support or oppose a strike mandate, participating in the vote is an important opportunity to have your voice heard. Participation by all eligible members helps ensure the result reflects the collective voice of the membership.
