Invite your Union to your next Department Meeting!

September 9, 2024 by Michael Stewart Leave a Comment

Our current collective agreement expires in less than six months. Yes, the contract we ratified only a year ago is already on its post-retirement contract. Your Contract Negotiations Team (CNC) is well on its way to drafting new language to secure better working conditions for you and your faculty colleagues. From our General Meetings, our Town Halls, and our many hallway conversations with faculty members, we know that our workloads have become untenable, we feel more and more removed from the Administration’s (sometimes puzzling) management decisions, and that the cost of living in one of the most expensive cities in the world continues to skyrocket.

We can change this, but to do so, we need your help.

We need to hear from every faculty member employed by the College. Yes: Every. Single. One.

We want to come to your Department Meeting and take a few minutes (just 15!) to deliver our new bargaining survey. The survey is short and sweet, but it’s critical that we reach as many faculty members as possible. We need to do this in person because this survey marks the beginning of a conversation between you and your Union about your next contract. Talk to your Chair or Program Leader about inviting us or just email the CNC directly with your next meeting date (ac.ytlucafnusomac@gniniagrab) so that we can contact your Chair about attending.

Help secure a better collective agreement for all of us. Invite the CCFA to your next Department meeting! (ac.ytlucafnusomac@gniniagrab)
