The staff at the York University Faculty Association (YUFA) are facing over 100 employer proposals that would gut their collective agreement protections from harassment, allow the same electronic monitoring YUFA fought against with York, reduce rights to union representation and participation and exclude staff from meetings that are essential to their work, among many others.
YUFA has spent dues on a high-profile law firm to lead its bargaining. This is not something a union should do. They also propose to direct resources away from front-line services to pay for expensive managers. This will slow down servicing and harm YUFA’s credibility and bargaining position when their own members face their employer.
Send the YUFA Executive Committee a letter demanding they reverse course and bargain a fair agreement free of concessions and top down restructuring, which prioritizes both fairness and equity for staff and the needs of YUFA members.
