cupe.ca
With 100% of the votes in support, 325 teaching assistants (TAs) at Saint Mary’s University (SMU) have now joined CUPE 3912. SMU TA votes for joining CUPE 3912 were cast in April 2023; however, certification was delayed while the employer attempted to exclude casuals and teaching assistants that were not students. When the SMU TA ballots were counted, 100% of them supported joining CUPE 3912.

CUPE 3912 is Nova Scotia’s largest university union. Members are part-time instructors, language instructors, teaching assistants, markers, demonstrators, research assistants, and independent course appointees.
