Dear Members of AMUSE,
As you may have noticed, we have revamped our logo and communications networks, including this newsletter and website, both of which are still under construction.
The following are a few updates and notices:
Free Pizza at Gerts Bar for all casual workers of McGill!
Thursday, August 26, 2011
4:00-7:00 PM
We’re bringing in more pizza this time, because last time we ran out pretty quickly. Bring your fellow casual workers! This is your chance to ask your union organizers about the on-going negotiations with McGill and other AMUSE activities.
Bargaining Updates
The AMUSE bargaining team and McGill will resume bargaining after a month-long recess. Our first bargaining date is on the 24th of August and we have scheduled dates until the month of December.
At earlier meetings we have we have drafted and agreed to articles pertaining to
- the scope and nature of the bargaining unit (who and what is a casual worker?)
- union recognition, information sharing, union dues, the relationship between McGill and AMUSE
- anti-discrimination and anti-harassment policies
- definitions of terms
- the rights of management
- the rights of union, such as office space, “liberation” from work of union members in order to do union work
- grievance resolution procedures,setting up a Labour Relations Committee to facilitate communication between Management and the Union, and arbitration.
At the next meeting we will discuss articles pertaining to disciplinary action and administrative dismissals.
