Shared Recovery Mandate | Bargaining 2022

Lynelle Yutani
December 20, 2022

This is the second in a series of FPSE Bargaining Bulletins aimed at keeping Locals and individual members better informed about the consequences of rising inflation, ongoing contraction of your faculty rights, and the encroachment of managerial liberties. The ongoing devaluation of labour and the systemic reliance on individual workers to make up budgeting shortfalls has an already strained workforce near the breaking point, read on to see what CCFA members can reasonably expect their wage increase to be. Remember, until the ink is drying on the signatures of our new Collective Agreement, the bargaining committee can make no promises! But we are all working very hard to ensure you get the best contract possible! Lynelle YutaniPresident, CCFA How Does The “Shared Recovery Mandate” Stack Up Against Inflation? Are you sure you really want to know this? I wasn’t… but then morbid curiosity got the better of me. Our Union…

Know Your Right of First Refusal

CCFAASC
May 10, 2022

We recently won an important arbitration about your rights. It pertains to the first level of job security that term faculty members can obtain (right of first refusal—see article 1.02 (g) in the Local Agreement).  Right now, we need your help to monitor whether the College will honour this ruling. We don’t always know when members are having trouble exercising their rights. Please get in touch with us as soon as possible if you have recently applied for right of first refusal, or if you are thinking about applying. Also, if you have retained correspondence on right of first refusal from any point in your employment and would be willing to share that with us, we would be grateful. This is the essence of our dispute with the College–under the Collective Agreement, faculty members who receive term assignments can apply for “right of first refusal”: 1.02 (g)(i) Term Faculty Members…

Getting Our Houses in Order

CCFAASC
May 3, 2022

Deans may come and go, but for most of us, our department is our home.  That’s where our closest colleagues are, it’s where the most important discussions take place, and, if we are lucky, it’s where we find our best support.  It’s also where collegial governance begins. I want to encourage you to take charge of some key areas in your department.  If you organize these points yourselves, amongst faculty members, disputes with administration are much much less likely to arise, and when they do, you’ll have an important track record of decision making.  All it takes is democratic will. Please consider establishing minimum teaching qualifications for all your courses.  Most departments have done this informally.  However, a formal document that you keep on file and update from time to time is more useful. Are the qualifications the same for all your offerings, or do some courses require specializations? Is…
