The Waterloo Public Interest Research Group is pleased to announce that in less than 48 hours over 140 individuals have signed our letter calling for the University of Waterloo to reinstate recently-fired food service worker, Marilyn Boutilier. Our letter has been signed by a broad range of the UW community including staff, faculty, undergraduate and graduate students, UW retirees and alumni. Community members from the Waterloo Region have also signed on.

“We have been hearing over and over again about how much people enjoyed her presence at Browser’s Café” say Sepehr Mohaddes, WPIRG Board Member.  “A large portion of those who signed the letter come from the Dana Porter library where Browser’s Café is located and from nearby buildings whose staff frequent the cafe. It is clear that over her 28 years of service to UW, Marilyn has touched a lot of people.”

WPIRG’s “Public Letter Seeking the Reinstatement of Marilyn Boutilier” asks the UW administration to “find a corrective measure more compatible with both the nature of the offence and with the principles to which UW is committed, and return Ms. Boutilier to her former position.” The letter, with the additional signatures included, can be read below. WPIRG will continue to receive signatures over the holiday break. You may email alex@wpirg.org to add your name to the letter or sign our online petition here.

Media inquiries may be directed to WPIRG Board of Directors member Sepehr Mohaddes at ssmohadd@uwaterloo.ca.
