On January 21, 2026, CUPE Locals 1230, 2484, 3261, and 3902, the unions representing over 10,000 employees at the University of Toronto, called on the employer to restart multi-site Joint Health & Safety Committee Terms of Reference negotiations.
A multi-site agreement would create a new and unified Terms of Reference for all joint health and safety committees across the University. However, after more than a decade of fragmented and closed one-on-one negotiations imposed on unions by the employer, CUPE campus unions have joined together to demand a joint table for an open and inclusive approach to resolving the longstanding issues still in dispute.
