President’s Message to the Members
| Hello, I hope this message finds you all well, and that you had some time over the summer to relax and recharge. With the start of this new academic year at McGill, negotiations are at the forefront of all our minds. Your Negotiations Team has been busy over the summer! This exceptional group representing you at the negotiations table is motivated, energetic, and willing to think outside the box. We participated in a “Nego Boot Camp” facilitated by our PSAC chief negotiator, which included addressing some of the challenges we face with an Employer which seems more set on takingyour rights away than reaching a fair deal. We are working together to present an update on the current status of our negotiations, as well as discuss priorities going forward. A notice will be sent out soon with details. While we are in negotiations, our Employer is aggressively restructuring as if we don’t exist. We, too, have decided to revamp and restructure ourselves so that we may be more efficient and effective in every approach we take. You voted for change; change is coming! There will be a separate meeting for the membership to unveil our new way of doing things. Dino Dutz President, MUNACA |
