USW Local 1998 represents over 7000 administrative and technical workers at the University of Toronto, Victoria University, University of St. Michael’s College and University of Toronto Schools.
USW Local 1998 Executive
The Local Executive and the Grievance Committee are elected every three years.
As an amalgamated Local, members of the Casual, Vic, St. Mike’s and U of T Schools Units elect their own officers and the Presidents of each of these units serve on the Local Executive.
The Grievance Committee is made up of Chief Stewards from the U of T staff-appointed unit and Unit Grievors from each Unit.
After a spirited organizing drive led by the University of Toronto Staff Association, administrative and technical staff at the University of Toronto voted in 1998 to join the United Steelworkers of America (USWA). Local 1998 was born.
