COVID-19 s.54 Settlement Re: “The Pivot”:

Lynelle Yutani
March 20, 2023

Hi Members, here’s a little blast from the past! It’s come to my attention that many of you have lost track of your COVID-19 Workload Complaint s.54 Settlement information. That’s totally understandable as it was well over a year ago that we finally settled it. Fast in terms of how long it normally takes to resolve a grievance, but almost two years after-the-fact, none the less. In case there are any members who didn’t carefully read it when the first email messages were sent out or had deleted it without realizing it, and for any Faculty members who may have been inadvertently overlooked. I am re-posting the information regarding the s.54 workload complaint settlement to the Confluence Blog and will send out periodic reminders between now and August 31, 2024 – when using your extra granted PD days expires.  If you were working during W2020 & S/S2020 as either Term,…

CCFA Bargaining Update #3 

Lynelle Yutani
March 2, 2023

Greetings, friends. The Union bargained for three days last week (February 21-23, 2023). We began by settling several more housekeeping issues. Then we went through each other’s proposals to indicate broadly our interest in finding middle ground. This helps all concerned decide where to focus their energies, but it does not mean that either side cannot push forward with a particular proposal. For instance, the employer has indicated that it has no interest in mandatory faculty participation in hiring and evaluation of administrators, and the Union has indicated that it has no interest in unlimited evaluation of faculty members; however, neither side has dropped their related proposals , or any significant proposal, at this point. We are now at the stage of crafting and exchanging counter-proposals, and thus the pace has picked up, though low availability on the Admin side continues to be frustrating (we are booked for three days…

Reminder for Members – Two Important Deadlines on February 15

Lynelle Yutani
February 13, 2023

Dear Members, I know many of you were negativity impacted by the pay date change and wanted to be sure you don’t miss the window to reapply!  The Payroll Advance Option to support faculty negatively impacted by the Pay Date Change Deadline to Apply is February 15! The College is making the “loan option” available to faculty and exempt employees.  This “loan” is essentially a one-week advance on your wages which you will repay bi-weekly in the remaining pay periods to the end of December 2023 or end of contract, whichever comes first.Because of the tax code in Canada, this type of loan/advance is characterized as a “taxable benefit”.  However, since it changes your total remuneration very minimally in this calendar year, I’m told it should have a minimal net effect on your tax liability. This comprehensive information page on the pay date change is available online.To request a loan, please…
