CREW stands for

A strong union to bargain for a stronger collective agreement

CREW was founded on the principle that a union’s purpose is to support the membership in winning its members’ demands around pay, job security, and safety at work. We are now in a strong position to come together as members to fight for the deal we deserve.

An autonomous and transparent union

As TAs and RAs at Concordia, we should be able to make our own decisions about the direction of our union. Our affiliation with CSN provides us with resources when we need them, but CREW is an autonomous union that makes democratic and transparent decisions based on the needs of our members.

A union that campaigns for social change

Building a more just society is the foundation to creating better workplaces and labour conditions. CREW members have led, participated in, and given material support to grassroots campaigns around sexualized abuses of power, environmental justice, and the rights of international students.
