Program Title: CUPE 3903 People of Colour Caucus Strike
Description: Last month teaching assistants and contract faculty at York University were on strike. While the union is a collective movement, racism within the union at York, and indeed the workers movement across the country, remains a very real issue to be addressed. The People of Colour Caucus of CUPE 3903 at York University are committed to creating spaces on the picket lines and within the union which not only claim to be welcoming but are also spaces where members feel welcomed. We spoke about the strike and the people of colour caucus with Ciann Wilson, PhD Candidate at York University, Vice-Chair of the Caribbean, African Canadian Social Services, Board Co-Chair of ACE - Accessibility, Community, Equity, and Co-Editor of The Health Tomorrow Journal, York Institute of Health Research.
