How CUPE 3903 Struck and Won

View through CrossRef
On October 26, 2000 approximately 2200 members of Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 3903 went on strike united under the slogan "Strike To Win". Seventy-eight days later CUPE 3903 celebrated a victory with profound implications for the post-secondary educational system and broader labour movement. The significance of the strike victory, however, lies not merely in what was attained in concrete terms, but also in the way the strike was carried out. Drawing upon the principles, practice and strategies of democracy, solidarity, and militancy, we struggled for change in ways which developed and expanded our capacities for self-activity and self-organization. In the process we gained a better understanding not only of the world around us but of our abilities to change that world, expanding the horizons of what we thought was possible. Le 26 octobre 2000, environ 2 200 membres de la section locale 3903 du Syndicat canadien de la fonction publique (SCFP), employés d’université York à Toronto, se sont mis en grève sous le slogan « faire la grève pour gagner ». Soixante-huit jours plus tard, la section locale 3903 a célébré une victoire qui a de profondes répercussions sur le système d’enseignement postsecondaire et le mouvement syndical. Toutefois, l’importance de cette grève a trait non seulement aux gains concrets obtenus mais aussi à la façon dont la grève a été menée. En nous fondant sur les principes, les pratiques et les stratégies de la démocratie, de la solidarité et du militantisme, nous avons lutté pour provoquer un changement par des moyens qui ont accru nos capacités d’agir et de nous organiser. Cela nous a permis de mieux comprendre non seulement le monde qui nous entoure mais encore nos capacités de changer ce monde, élargissant ainsi l’horizon de ce que nous pensions possible.
