Thanks so much to those of you who filled out the bargaining survey. The Unit 1 Bargaining Team has had a chance to meet, review the results, and put together a package of priorities that we feel should guide our work at the bargaining table this summer. The next step in the process is to meet as a unit to discuss and ratify those priorities. Please take a look at the meeting information below and click the link to register in advance. This meeting will also include elections to fill several vacancies on the Bargaining Team. Information about the vacant positions and the elections process can be found in our by-laws. We will be electing one (1) general bargaining team member, one (1) undergraduate bargaining team member, and one (1) alternate bargaining team member.

Please register in advance for this meeting:

You must be a member in good standing of Unit 1 in order to attend.

I also wanted to send a reminder that the union is looking for two (2) members to book-off for mobilizing, engagement, education, and organizing work in support of bargaining. The book-offs are for approximately 10 hours per week and are compensated at the ‘Class A’ TA rate from the current collective agreement. You can find more information about the positions here.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me back.

In solidarity,
