Concordia teaching assistant union on strike

The Concordia Research and Education Workers Union (CREW), is on strike.

On Wednesday March 12 the union began an indefinite strike action as part of their bargaining with the university. CREW represents over 2,000 TAs and RAs at Concordia. With the union affiliating just two years ago, this is CREW’s first strike.

The union wants higher wages competitive with TA wages at other schools, as well as stronger job security and an indexation system guaranteeing more consistent hours.

Concordia says they will continue to meet at the bargaining table in good faith.
