There will be a one-day withdrawal of CUPE support staff services within the VCC Library on Wednesday, Nov. 28 and a one day withdrawal within the food services area on Thursday, Nov. 29

CUPE 4627 has advised the college that there will be no full withdrawal of services during the week of Nov. 26 or the week of Dec. 3.

Support staff and faculty from BCIT were off the job for one-day, Nov. 27, 2012.  Union members have been without a pay increase
for four years.  The FSA, Faculty and Staff Association, is the bargaining unit for over 1,400 employees.

Classes were cancelled at the Burnaby campus, only.

CUPE organizers expect 3,000 members to walk off the job provincewide on Tuesday from Camosun, Vancouver Island University, College of New Caledonia, College of the Rockies and North Island College. 
Organizers say they are leaving the door open for the BC government to stop stalling and settle with the 3,000 CUPE support workers who have been without a contract for 2 ½ years .

Starting Nov. 19, 2012, various job actions will be taken by SFU sessionals, TAs, markers and other teaching complementary
workers.  Their website has a fuller explanation.
