CUPE 1975 - Working To Ensure Workplace Safety

"We have been approached by employees who are members of CUPE 1975 who are afraid. They have reported bullying, harassment, intimidating behaviour and threats being made by union members against other members if they do not participate in job action," wrote Barb Daigle, U of S associate vice-president of human resources."

"Be careful walking down a dark alley at night if you don't support this job action, be careful crossing the picket line, we can't guarantee your personal safety' - those would be the physical threats," she said."The others would be more subtle forms of harassment and intimidation, like, 'We will ensure that you no longer have a job."

Two complaints, filed in writing by CUPE 1975 members, are being investigated by university administrators who are aware of more than a dozen instances of union members harassing, intimidating or bullying other union members, says Daigle.
