Clerical at UHT vote overwhelmingly in favour of CUPE

348 CUPE members at St. Joseph’s Health Centre Toronto will continue to be represented by CUPE. And, approximately 700 non-union clerical employees at Providence Healthcare Toronto and St. Michael’s Hospital will now also be represented by CUPE.

Results

Regardless of the interference from the employer and SEIU to try and persuade workers to vote non-union, the vote results are:

  • 533 in favour of CUPE representation
  • 168 against

CUPE welcomes all the new members at Unity Health Toronto to CUPE. These new members will officially be represented by CUPE once a final decision comes from the Ontario Labour Relations Board which takes approximately 2 weeks.

Once this happens CUPE will be setting up a meeting for this new CUPE clerical group. Watch for details!
