Fair Employment Week: Oct 27-31, 2014

Each year CAUT and its member associations, including FPSE, join with a coalition of unions and activists across North America to organize a week-long series of events highlighting the overuse and exploitation of contract academic staff.

Niall Christie is the LFA’s  representative to the FPSE Non-Regular Faculty Committee. On Oct 25 Niall attended a town hall meeting sponsored by FPSE and CAUT entitled “Fair Employment Week Town Hall Meeting: Making Gains One Step at a Time”. Attended by representatives from across BC, the meeting featured speakers, a panel and open discussion of issues affecting non-regular faculty and how locals are seeking to address their needs. See the meeting report for more details.
