T Shirt Order information

The CUPE 1479 Mobilization Committee is happy to announce the Local will be providing complimentary t-shirts for all CUPE 1479 members.  Members must sign up through their site representative for their free shirt.
You are able to chose one (1) t-shirt in your choice of black or purple, fitted or non-fitted style, and of course your size.
Attached to this email are:
  • Samples of both purple and black shirts-please note the mock up is only on the fitted style but represents what it will look like on both fitted and non fitted shirts
  • Sizing charts for fitted and non fitted styles.  Please go by the sizes available on the order form, not the size chart. **please note that fitted t-shirts fit small**
You must see your CUPE site representative no later then May 31 to order a shirt.  Orders will not be taken after this date.  I know the turn around time is short, however the time to have orders processed is two weeks from date of submission to the supplier.
These shirts are meant to be used as a solidarity action.  You will be asked to wear them to show the government and CTA that we are standing in solidarity together during bargaining.  We ask that you wear your shirt on Education Worker Wednesdays, when the OSBCU is at the central bargaining table, Local Bargaining Committee is in  bargaining, during job action and any other time you would like to show you are a proud CUPE education worker!
If you are interested in ordering more than one shirt the cost will be $15 and cheque can be made out to CUPE Local 1479 or cash will be excepted.
Hopefully everyone has received their CUPE 1479 buttons and are proudly wearing them.
 
If you have any questions please see your CUPE site rep.

In solidarity,
Liz James
Chief Steward
CUPE Local 1479
