The LFA is calling on all members to protect our collective agreement, and demand respect for reappointment rights:

1. Flood the email inboxes. Use the attached email template to contact each of our governors, our senior administration, and government representatives. Email template for writing campaign-FINAL Add your own story or send the email as it is. Make this issue known to all decision-makers. Please share widely: letters from students, alumni, community members, other unions, are all welcome.
2. Stand with us at LFA information tables, A Building Foyer, August 6 and 12, 10:00-2:00pm. “Inform” our administration that their action is absolutely unacceptable. Come stay for whatever time you can. Non-faculty allies are welcome! (Poster-making 9 am @ LFA office, A212)
3. Make our position visible. Place this poster on your office door: Poster-FINAL
4. Watch for future actions.

Why?

• Langara senior administration are bypassing laid-off faculty for available work this fall.  (The College is implementing this plan right now.)
• This work is being offered to faculty with less seniority on temporary contracts.
• If there are not enough faculty for the work available, the laid-off faculty will still not be offered that work, and the work will be posted internally.
• Laid-off faculty must apply and interview for the jobs they just lost – with no guarantee that they will be given the work.

This plan is grossly unfair, and a violation of our Collective Agreement. It undermines the possibility of long-term careers at Langara, and job security for everyone.

The LFA will protect our Collective Agreement, and our members’ rights.
