PRINCE GEORGE- Teaching assistants at UNBC voted heavily in favour of joining CUPE 2278 in a labour board vote held on Wednesday.
76 TA’s will now be members of the union local representing teaching assistants and English-language instructors at UNBC.
CUPE will be negotiating a first collective agreement on behalf of their newest members at UNBC. They are students as well as TAs, so wages are important to their quality of life.
Hiring fairness and due process, protection from academic harm, and achieving a fair first collective agreement are some of the other important issues.
