AGREEMENTCollective Bargaining Agreement • June 3rd, 2024
Contract Type FiledJune 3rd, 2024Victoria University and the United Steelworkers, Local 1998 wish to acknowledge the sacred land on which Victoria University operates. This land has been a site of human activity for many thousands of years. It is the territory of the Huron-Wendat and Petun First Nations, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. The territory was the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Iroquois Confederacy and the Ojibwe and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. Today the meeting place of Toronto is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to study, live, love and work in the community, on this territory. We are also mindful of broken covenants and the need to strive to make right with all our relations.
