The vote on whether to ratify our tentative agreement with WCM has concluded as of 12:00pm today and 99.2% of those participating voted yes to ratify our contract. The results are as follows:
YES: 376 votes
NO: 3 votes
Thank you to everyone who participated in the vote. After years of organizing and 18 months of bargaining, this vote is a strong mandate for researchers to continue improving our working conditions and the research conditions at WCM.

In solidarity,
