| After more than a dozen meetings and one final long day ending at 3:30 AM on Thursday, March 9th, your Bargaining Committee came to a tentative agreement with the University. We thank our members for your support throughout the process. In the coming days we will provide more information about both the agreement and the ratification vote. Acknowledging the distributed nature of our work, we will host several meetings over Zoom where you can learn about the agreement. The vote itself will be conducted entirely online. Stay tuned for more updates! In solidarity, Chloe Martin-Cabanne, Adam Huizinga, Hema Ratnasami, & Jaimie Miller |

CUPE 2278 is organizing Research Assistants, Work Learn students, and more!
Some very exciting news out of our sibling local over at CUPE 2278: they have begun a campaign to have the remaining student workers who aren’t covered by a collective agreement to join their union! The campaign officially began at the start of the month, but the kick-off was on Imagine Day and the reception has been incredible – with some nice coverage by the Ubyssey. If you want to learn more, head on over to their website, sign up to help, or give them a follow on social media.

UBC Spelling Bee
Join our CUPE 2950 Spelling Bee Team
CUPE 2950 is taking part in the 11th Annual UBC Library United Way Spelling Bee! We are looking for members to join our team.
This is an event for UBC students, staff, faculty and emeritus – words vary in difficulty and may include some Musqueam words found around campus.
Important to note: This is not a traditional Spelling Bee – this is a group spelling challenge with no individual spellers. Teams work together at their tables to come up with the correct answer and then marks their sheet together. Only in the event of a tie-breaker will one player be asked to come forward in a traditional spell-off.
Once again we are offering an exciting opportunity for teams to earn points. If a team has three or more members who have signed up for payroll donation to the United Way please email proof to Stacy Campbell and your team will earn 2 bonus points – this may give you edge that you need!
Date: Thursday, October 13th, 2022
Time: 12:30 – 1:30 PM
Location: Irving K. Barber Learning Centre (1961 East Mall) – Golden Jubilee Room (4th floor)
Email office@cupe2950.ca by October 6th to join our team. Registration is based on a first come, first serve basis and we only have room for 10 in the team.
