CUPE Hiring

The Faculty of Education hires part-time Course Directors in compliance with regulations set out in the collective agreement between York University and the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 3903, Unit 2. In keeping with the collective agreement, seniority and qualification are important components in the hiring process. The process outlined at this site deals specifically with CUPE Local 3903 Unit 2, so the process would be of interest to qualified individuals who are currently not full time graduate students at York University (who are hired under the Unit 1 regulations). If you are unsure of your seniority please contact the CUPE3903 offices at 416-736-5154.

  5. Specify preferences for particular job postings.
  6. Although receipt of a completed blanket application form means that it will not be necessary to apply for individual positions posted during the year, we ask that you indicate job preferences by emailing CUPEhiring@edu.yorku.ca with your preferences, rank ordered, with job posting number (to be found at the foot of each posting on the right hand side). Please note the deadline for application is midnight on the deadline date posted. Later postings are emailed to those who have submitted a blanket application and are also posted on our Faculty bulletin board for CUPE positions, outside Winters 108, as well as on the bulletin boards of other hiring units in the University.
