5. No pickets for Monday! (This is good news!) Your picket captain will inform you if and when picketing will begin.
4.a. Message to Commuters (prepared by Kip Pegley) (moved to this location August 12, first posted August 10): QUFA recognizes that many of its members live outside of Kingston where, over the summer months, they are conducting their research. In the event of a job action (lockout or strike), however, the terms of employment change and all members become de facto employees of the union. Our work then becomes staffing the pickets lines of the Queen’s University campus and all other activities supportive of the job action. Strike pay will depend upon our daily physical presence on the lines or conducting other necessary tasks. We hope our members will come out to the lines and show our solidarity. Questions can be directed to Sammi King, chair of the Job Action Services Subcommittee (JASS), at sammi.king@qufa.ca
4.b. Ideas Added to Message to Commuters by QUFA Job Action Committee (posted August 12): Commuters could consider forming carpools to be more environmentally friendly and to reduce the cost of travel to Kingston. QUFA is willing to schedule commuters for a full day of picket sessions as an option for meeting picket obligations to the union.
