Conversation guide on post-secondary education

This is the first of 5 fact sheets on sexual violence and harassment in post-secondary institutions, and the steps your union can take to address it. This fact sheet presents the multiple options for reporting or pursuing a complaint on experiences of sexual violence and harassment on campus.

Precarious work deeply impacts people’s lives, health and well-being, and ultimately, their communities. That’s the number one thing CUPE heard in a series of town halls on precarious work in the post-secondary sector held earlier this year.

CUPE represents just over 73,000 members across over 230 bargaining units in the post-secondary education (PSE) sector. Our members work in universities, colleges and student-led organizations.

The National Post-Secondary Education Task Force provides advice on how CUPE can advocate for publicly funded and delivered post-secondary education through an integrated system of public community colleges and universities. It will advise on lobbying approaches for increased funding for post-secondary education. The task force will make recommendations on strategies to resist privatization of post-secondary education and to engage employers in coordinated bargaining at the regional, provincial, and national level.
