Employees looking for job security, better benefits: Union
Unionized faculty and librarians of the University of St. Michael's College in Toronto — represented by the University of Toronto Faculty Association (UTFA) — on Jan. 25 requested the Ontario Minister of Labour issue a "no-board" report that will put the union in a legal strike position as of Feb. 11.
Faculty at St. Michael's College are looking for job security for all St. Michael's teaching stream faculty, benefits for contract faculty, said the union.
The staff members are also looking for the same standards of equity and diversity for hiring as University of Toronto and wage increases in line with those received by other faculty members at University of Toronto, said the UTFA.
The action comes following months of bargaining, during which no meaningful progress has been made on these issues, according to the union.
