Our Work, Our Worth, Our Wages: A Petition for Fair Bargaining |
The Wages Petition
We, the undersigned members of USW Local 2010, stand united in our demand for fair and equitable salary increases in this upcoming round of bargaining. Our union members are dedicated professionals who provide essential services that are crucial to the success of Queen’s University, yet our wages lag far behind the rising cost of living and inflation. This reality makes it incredibly difficult for Steelworkers to support their families, meet basic needs, and plan for the future.
We are deeply disappointed by this administration’s decision to resort to staff layoffs as a means of addressing Queen’s University’s alleged budget crisis. Prolonged periods of understaffing have contributed to low morale and increasingly unsustainable workloads for many Steelworkers.
Our commitment and contributions to this university deserves to be respected. Queen’s works because we do. Without fair compensation, we cannot continue to provide the quality of service and dedication that the administration relies on.
We are united, we are essential, and we deserve fair compensation. Our work, our worth, our wages!
