CUPE's code of conduct should address sexual violence, group charges
By Liz Foster
Silence iS Violence, a group of stu-
dents and teaching staff at York University in
Toronto, is calling on the Canadian Union of
Public Employees (CUPE) to do more to pre-
vent and address sexual violence among mem-
bers.
The group formed in March, several
months after York PhD student and teaching
assistant Mandi Gray alleged she was sexually
assaulted by an executive member of CUPE's
local 3903 chapter at an off-campus union-
related event.
At the time of the alleged incident, local
3903, which represents the school's TAs and
other staff, was involved in labour action.
Gray said she discovered an institutional
failure to meet the needs of survivors at both
the university and the union.
