All work done by CUPE 3912 members should stop for the length of the strike. If you continue to work, you will not be paid.
Bargaining Update
Our strike is effective. After more than a week of our strike, Dalhousie’s Administration has agreed to return to the bargaining table on Wednesday, November 2, 2022. For details visit our Bargaining Updates page.
Let’s keep up the pressure by picketing even harder to support our Negotiating Committee before and during their bargaining meetings.

Other Strike-Related Information
Strike Pay
-
Our picketing schedule is Monday-Friday, but strike pay is recorded from Wednesday-Tuesday because our strike started on a Wednesday. You will only get paid for at most 20 hours of strike duties with a Wednesday-Tuesday week. Strike pay cheques become available on the following Friday. Please visit the Strike HQ in the SUB to receive your cheque (remote members will have their cheques mailed).
The hardship fund is in development; more information is coming soon.
