Maintenance and custodial staff at Toronto Metropolitan University say they’ll escalate their work-to-rule job action Thursday to a “full strike” next week if the university doesn’t address their concerns around cost of living and their pensions.
“This is historic. We’re people who usually quietly work away at keeping the university clean and operating smoothly. It takes a lot to get us riled up,” said Jason Vigilante, president of CUPE 233, in a release. “But we can’t be quiet when the employer unilaterally changes our pension plan and makes it so we’re paying a higher percentage than faculty.”
