CUPE 5524 is the union representing academic workers at the University of Waterloo, including graduate teaching assistants and research assistants. Our work includes bargaining to update and strengthen the collective agreement and advocating to defend your rights as academic workers.

 

Experiencing a labour-related issue? It is your legal right to seek the advocacy of your union. Under the Employment Standards Act, your employment supervisor cannot punish you for reporting or seeking assistance. Contact our Lead Steward at u1stewards@cupe5524.ca for help.
