Shrinking Wages | Bargaining 2022

Lynelle Yutani
May 26, 2022

FPSE Bargaining Bulletin #1 – A 6% Wage Cut This is the first 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 why, under those conditions – even a moderate prediction for the rate of inflation will set your buying power back by YEARS!

The Camosun College Faculty Association serves it’s members while residing on the traditional and unceded territories of the Lkwungen (Esquimalt and Songhees) and W̱SÁNEĆ (Pauquachin, Tsartlip, Tsawout, Tseycum) peoples. We express our profound gratitude to our traditional hosts’ welcome and tolerance of our uninvited presence while we strive to dismantle our colonial, patriarchal, and racist cultural biases.
