For a number of years now, we were under the impression that uOttawa was hiring students to perform tasks related to research, while failing to recognize that they were CUPE 2626 members. The problem was actually bigger than imagined. And we settled it.

After a year of negotiations & hundreds of your letters, we’re proud to announce that the University of Ottawa will pay CUPE 2626 members for the Health & Safety training—finally!

In order to receive your $200 for the training you must:

1. Complete all 6 mandatory training modules (follow the training list & instructions here);
2. Do it before April 30, 2018 to be paid this summer. If you complete your training after that, you will be paid in the fall (exact date TBD);
3. Your $200 will be directly deposited to the same bank account as your salary deposit.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
