Please note that for the months of July and August, the QUFA Office will close every Friday.
Take Action
- Please see here for the latest news from Windsor University. The Administration has resorted, once again, to threats to impose a contract if the Faculty Association doesn't accept their terms in bargaining. Please consider emailing Windsor's President, Alan Wildeman with a copy to the Windsor University Faculty Association President, Anne Forest.
- Please see here for QUFA's response to new waste collection rules. The Collective Agreement covering custodians (CUPE 229) prohibits other salaried employees at Queen's from doing their work. We hope the Administration will reverse this decision in consideration of honouring all Collective Agreements on campus.
