CUPE strike
YUFA Ad Hoc CUPE Support & Communications Committee: Communiqué on CUPE Conversions
Since 1988, CUPE has had a program for conversion of a small number of high intensity contract faculty each year into tenure track positions within YUFA. This program is open to any CUPE members with at least five years of Unit II teaching (or equivalent). CUPE is negotiating to continue this program, and YUFA’s contract language is ready for that extension.

Letter to President Shoukri, 27 Nov 2008
I am a faculty member in the Arts sociology department and I will be retired in 3 days. I have been at York since 1971 and from 1975 through until 1997 when the 8 week YUFA strike took place, I have been close to and often deeply involved in the negotiating process at York.
YUFA Ad Hoc CUPE 3903 Support & Communications Committee: Communiqué on Binding Arbitration
The York University Faculty Association (YUFA) calls on the Employer to cease its public calls for binding arbitration as a method of resolving the CUPE 3903 strike. A fair and equitable resolution to this dispute will be found through collective bargaining, not binding arbitration.
