  Subject: URGENT! CUPE 3903 Support Needed Monday
 

  I've been asked to circulate an appeal for support on the picket lines
  this Monday.  3903 is looking to make more than the usual impression on the
  York administration this coming Monday, January 8th. As you may know, 
  CUPE and York are back at the table.  But if an agreemet isn't
  reached we needto put as much pressure as possible on the 
  university to settle and settle quickly. The momentum gained 
  in the recent vote can't be squandered. 8:30am or any time 
  later (but obviously the earlier the better) at the main 
  entrance at 4700 Keele. In the event a settlement is
  reached prior to Monday morning I'll do my  best to get
  the word out here, so check our e-mail before jumping on 
  the subway.
