Good Afternoon Members,
This is the first call for CAUT Grievance Handling – register by 4:00 PM on Thursday March 9, 2023 which is being offered in conjunction with the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT). This is an ideal course for those new to grieving – that’s the dispute resolution process between the employer and union. Please take advantage of this opportunity if you’d like to develop a better understanding of the grievance process or to find out if being a steward is something that you’d like to do!
