Hi Members!
Our office staff take their much-deserved holidays in the summer while many of you are also away on vacation. During July and August, when our office hours are reduced due to seasonal staffing availability, processing of PD claims may take up to 30 days. Please remember that all PD inquiries, including claims, should be sent to ac.nusomac@DP-AFCC.
REMINDER: August 4 – 8th, 2025 the office in Young 221, Lansdowne will be closed.
However, we know that there’s no vacation from collective agreement disputes, so your Contract Management and Contract Negotiating Crew are still on the job! Here’s your first point of contact if you have issues or questions about your rights!
- July 2-13 Lynelle Yutani, ac.ytlucafnusomac@tnediserp
- July 14-27 Peter Ove, ac.ytlucafnusomac@riahccmc
- July 28-Aug 4 Kelly Pitman, ac.nusomac@namtiP
- Aug 5-10 Peter Ove, ac.ytlucafnusomac@riahccmc
- Aug 11-24 Lynelle Yutani, ac.ytlucafnusomac@tnediserp
For many general questions about your rights and benefits, a quick search on the website or review of the blog can point you in the right direction. If you’ve already joined our Discord server, you can even chat with us about your questions. Haven’t joined yet? Contact ac.ytlucafnusomac@tnediserp for an invite! Most of our work throughout the summer is done remotely, but if you need to have an in-person meeting, please don’t hesitate to request an appointment.
Happy summer to those of you who are away enjoying your well earned vacation, and my heart overflows with gratitude for all our members who work through the summer to make that possible!
In Solidarity,
– Lynelle Yutani, ac.ytlucafnusomac@tnediserp
