FAQ: Where am I supposed to be picketing?
Thank-you for all your enthusiasm so far! Let's keep up a strong turn-out at the Humanities line!
A number of people have been confused about where to report for picketing shifts. If you are signed up on this blog, you're on the Sentinal Road line. Once you get there, report in to a picket captain and they will be able to give you further information. Also, if you have any questions or concerns, please call CUPE Strike Headquarters or send us an e-mail to huma.picket@gmail.com.
Take care!
HOW TO SIGN UP FOR A SHIFT:
- Your name and contact info
- What shift time you would like, on what day
- Specify whether you are picketing or working on alternative strike duties
We will update the calendar with your name and (p) = picket (alt) = alternative strike duty, so that people can see how well the shifts are being covered. We need to be 15 to 20 people on the line at all times, and we will probably be picketing with Music/film/theatre, Communications&Culture, and Art History.
Picket pay & schedule / alternative duties
The strike date has been set for Thursday Nov. 6th, and the Special Consultative (Final Offer) GMM where we will collectively discuss the proposals offered by the employer, has been set for Wednesday Nov. 5th. However, we are in a legal lockout position on Sunday Nov. 2nd -- we have to be ready to walk by this date. Thus our sign-up shifts begin for Monday Nov. 3rd: just in case of a lock-out.
You can do your shifts back to back (2 or 3 a day) if you have impediments to coming up to campus every day.
If you cannot stand on a picket line for family, medical or legal reasons (etc.), there is a list of alternative duties you can take on, from the union headquarters (near the picket lines) or from home.
