To all those who are interested in equity, I wish to direct this information to you. We are looking for new members to help make decisions about important subjects we should support. We would also like to know what is important to you, the students, so we can support causes of interest and empower change. If you are interested please get in contact with me at equity@cupe3906.org.

Thank you

Change of Coverage Period for New Graduate Teaching Assistants

Communication Officer January 7, 2013 Events, General

Did you start a graduate program in January 2013 OR are a new non-student CUPE 3906 member? If so, are you a TA or RA in lieu with a contract of at least 130 hours?

If you answered yes to both questions, you will be enrolled in the CUPE 3906 dental plan with Equitable Life of Canada. All other new graduate students will be enrolled in the GSA plan with Sun Life (more info available at www.ihaveaplan.ca). New undergrad TAs will continue to have dental coverage through the MSU.

New members can opt out of the CUPE dental plan (with proof of alternate coverage) or opt in to the family plan ($67.79 per month) during the month of January. Changes cannot be made after January 31, 2013.
