Tim Hudak wants to make Ontario a so-called ‘Right to Work’ province. He says it’s about giving workers a free choice. He’s wrong. He wants to give workers the ability to get all the benefits of a union without paying for these benefits. Workers shouldn’t get a ‘free ride’

Bargaining update – McMaster and CUPE 3906 agree to pause talks
The University and representatives of CUPE 3906, Unit 2 (“the Union”) have been meeting to negotiate a renewed collective agreement. The Union represents approximately 380 Sessional Faculty and Sessional Music Faculty at McMaster.
Both parties report making progress towards a renewed agreement and that the talks have been constructive and positive.
The University and the Union have agreed to pause the talks over the summer, due to scheduling issues. During this pause, the University and Union will continue to operate under the terms of the former collective agreement. The parties have also agreed they will not file for conciliation during the adjournment.
Both parties will resume their meetings the week of September 16.
