CUPE Local 3906
Kenneth Taylor Hall B111
McMaster University

Hamilton, ON L8S 4M4

All of our other contact information, including telephone numbers and extensions, e-mail addresses, and fax number, will remain the same.

Please redirect your mail to CUPE 3906 to this address as of the 24th of April.
We look forward to seeing you at our new office!

In solidarity,
Blake McCall
President, CUPE 3906
