All,
I want each of you to know that UNTF is paying very close attention to the university’s correspondence regarding fall teaching and uncompensated summer professional development related to that fall teaching. We have preliminary plans in place to offer a small amount of money to members who complete summer professional development programs, and we’ll provide more information in the next week or two.
If you have health concerns that might cause you to be at higher risk of complications due to Covid-19, please reach out to your medical team and the RCPD to request a visa. Do that sooner rather than later!
In the meantime, please be in touch with us directly at office@untf.org if you have questions or concerns related to labor, your individual appointment, designation B, etc., or even if you just want to chat about what’s happening, UNTF’s response, etc. We’re here for you.
Please also know that, at this time, we have not been called to bargain. We have a closed contract, which means that any changes to salary, etc., can only occur in collective bargaining. We have no plans to concede the hard-won gains we achieved in 2018.
And, as always, if you’d like to become a member of UNTF, we would love to have you on board. You can find the membership form here.
Stay safe and healthy.
In Solidarity,
kb
