The Strike is Over!

Yes. It's over. The CAS members and the Board of Governors both ratified the agreement and they're going back to work. While some are disappointed about the agreement they have made several important steps on the road to properly recognize the CAS profs for the contributions they provide to the Laurier community.

I'll ask about the details of the plan but I think we can all take a deep sigh of relief that what began seven months ago, is finally come to an end.

As many of you know from the WLU website, extra class time has been schedules for us and I recommend everyone to visit to see the class schedules for their CAS profs and make sure you attend. There's one for the Waterloo campus and one for the Brantford campus.

An Open Letter to Wilfrid Laurier University and the Wilfrid Laurier University Faculty Association

Just in case you missed it, here is the Open Letter to Wilfrid Laurier University and the Wilfrid Laurier University Faculty Association:

We, the undersigned, issue this letter as the official student representatives to the Senate and Board of Governors of Wilfrid Laurier University.

The recent labour dispute between Contract Academic Staff and the University has caused immense disruption, stress, and potentially negative long-term consequences for students in classes taught, assisted, or otherwise facilitated by these staff. These problems have been magnified by a consistent lack of communication, clarity, or transparency from either side with regards to the impact that this dispute will have and what plans there are to mitigate it. This is unacceptable.

Furthermore, the rhetoric issued by both sides has given students the distinct impression that they are being used as a bargaining chip and has consistently misrepresented the realities of the situation. This is disingenuous and insulting and must stop.

As student representatives, we take no side in the labour dispute; the student body is the third side, the side that has been consistently neglected throughout this entire process. Thus we demand a course of action that minimizes any further negative impact on students. We recognize that academic integrity has already been seriously compromised, and ask that any solution err on the side of the students. Pursuant to this, we have a number of demands:

1. Every student enrolled in a course with any element provided by Contract Academic Staff should be automatically granted a passing credit (not affecting their average) with a 25 percent refund commensurate to the 25 percent of classes missed
a. Students should also have the option to drop these courses with a 100 percent refund if they so wish.
b. Any student who has already dropped a course should be able to petition for either of these options.

2. Both the Wilfrid Laurier University Administration and the Faculty Association should immediately issue letters of apology for the stress and anxiety caused to students by the rhetoric and lack of communication during the past two weeks.

3. Whatever the University decides to do, the negotiation of that decision should be done in the open, in consultation with the students elected to represent students at that relevant governing body.

4. Furthermore, in light of the poor communication that has so far been in evidence, we expect communication of the final decision to be made in all of these ways.
a. The WLU Email ListServe
b. Press releases on the WLU Website
c. Advertisements in the Cord Weekly
d. Posters placed around campus
e. WebCT announcements.

5. Students should not be expected to hand in assignments due during the strike period or write exams in any class with elements provided by Contract Academic Staff, for the following reasons:

a. Students require class time and professor feedback in order to complete assignments and prepare for exams. It is unacceptable to expect otherwise.
b. In absence of a clearly defined and publicized course of action for students, it is perfectly reasonable to expect that they may not have completed the work.
c. There are students who do not want to cross picket lines. This is their right and must be explicitly respected.
d. Students have had absolutely no say in the decisions to collect course work as assigned.

6. Any course of action should minimize the number of students who are compelled to pursue petitions. Furthermore:
a. All petition fees in these cases should be waived.
b. Senate or Senate Executive must also approve any extraordinary petitions procedure.

7. No academic decisions should ever be announced to the community or made formal without the explicit input from and discussion by students.

If the above necessary actions are not taken, it will be taken as a clear indication that neither party in this dispute is sufficiently concerned with the interest of students at Wilfrid Laurier University.


Sincerely,

Josh Smyth, Senator
Bryn Ossington, Senator
Rachael Baker, Senator
Mark Ciesluk, Senator
Saad Aslam, Senator-Elect
Janice Lee, Senator-Elect
Paul Laanemets, Senator-Elect
Colin LeFevre, Senator
Culum Canally, Governor
Keren Gottfried, Governor
Matt Park, Governor
Jon Champagne, Governor-elect

Well spoken, I think every student will approve.

Back to Brantford on Monday

WLUFA is hosting a rally at Brantford on Monday at 1:30. Facebook-wise, there seems to be a big group attending, and a gang from Waterloo is going to be there. We've got three cars now and if you need a ride there, message me (Anatoly Venovcev) on Facebook or e-mail me at tolyv@hotmail.com. It would be good to have a good presence at their rally to show support, once again, for the Brantford people and organize a sister solidarity group there.

Administration Invites WLUFA Back to the Table!

The administration's chief negotiator (Jim Butler) contacted WLUFA's chief negotiator (Doug Lorimer) and the talks are to resume on April 3rd!

It's a step in the right direction, but let me remind everyone that this isn't the end - only the beginning of the end. Picketing will continue until an agreement is reached and continued support is needed. If the line breaks, the administration will call off the negotiations. So hang strong, show support, stand in picket lines, inform, e-mail the administration - we must press on.

Fiscal Mismanagement

WLUFA news release:

Laurier’s “Large Deficit” Show Hides Declining Cost of Salaries

Dr. Max Blouw, the new President of Wilfrid Laurier University, in a number of public statements, has expressed concern about Laurier’s financial deficit. He has indicated that he intends to address this deficit through economies in salaries paid to Laurier employees.

The present impasse with the Contract Academic Staff which has led to a strike is just the first round in President Blouw’s plan.

At the request of Wilfrid Laurier University Faculty Association, Dr. Bill Salatka, Professor of Accounting in Laurier’s School of Business and Economics, has undertaken an analysis of the University’s published financial statements for 2002 - 2006.

“There are at least two important aspects to what the published financial statements show,” Dr. Salatka says.

“By transferring money out of the General (or Operating) Fund into capital and other funds, the University Administration has “created” a large deficit for 2006 in the General Fund. The University was not overall in a net deficit position in 2006 (the last year for which there are published financial statements available).”

Dr. Salatka says, “This deficit of $62 million in 2006 is the result of cumulative transfers out of the General Fund amounting to $39 million since 2002.”

This is a deficit created by the Administration.

A second significant aspect that undercuts the Administration’s claims relates to the total salary bill for all employees (administrators and managers, full-time faculty, contract academic staff, librarians, non-academic staff, et al.), which is a major cost for universities. At Laurier, however, the total salary cost has been declining in relation to total revenues.

“Total salaries, as a percentage of student fees, have dropped approximately 9% since 2002,” Dr. Salatka says.

Also if you compare total salaries as the cost of total revenues, total salaries have actually declined from nearly 53% in 2002 to just under 47% in 2006.

The Administration claims that the deficit means it cannot move to resolve the dispute over CAS seniority and compensation. Yet the analysis of the financial statements indicates that salaries have been a declining portion of University revenues. The deficit arises from past administrative decisions leading to transfers out of the Operating Fund.

This spring the collective agreements for two other major employee groups are coming up for renewal – the WLUFA full-time faculty and librarian collective agreement and the WLUSA agreement for non-academic staff.

“Creative accounting” is being used as a smokescreen to hide the Administration’s real agenda,” says Dr. Judy Bates, President of WLUFA.

Woops... You can't win when you don't have math skills on your side.

Review of Administration’s Response

After reading and analyzing the administration’s counter-website, I have to describe it by one word – disappointing. I’d give them an “A” for effort, though beyond that I wouldn’t substitute their grade for even what I have in French right now.

The moment you click on it, it jumps out at you as more of the same sterile hogwash they have been trying to pour down our throats in their statements to The Cord in the past – “We care about our students and we’re trying to do the best we can to resolve this situation.” Some sentences seem to be recycled from the stock mass e-mail they have been shooting out to anyone who dared to even e-mail in a valid concern. Further they make no effort of trying to address the real issues that concern students – our tuition, our grades, and our profs in exchange to simply shoot off noise in full apathy of the issues that trouble us.

Once you get deeper into their website you encounter the sort of loopy, closed-circuit logic you might hear on the Fox News channel if you’re a fan of painful American television. It’s the sort of logic that only makes sense if you’re running on six shots of whiskey at two o’clock in the morning. It even claims to provide “factually-based information” – an echo to Fox News that offers such fair and balanced news that they have to remind you of that fact before and after every commercial break.

Their website contains a massive contradiction – their claims to the value of the CAS workforce butt up against in how little care they actually show about their input by stating how their job is basically delineated to be mere plugs in helping “the university meet unexpected increases in demand for particular courses and/or programs.” This is exactly what one of the problems WLUFA has with the administration – the use (and abuse) of a flexible workforce to fill in the holes that might arise without due compensation and while providing not a thought to their job security by freely admitting that their applications won’t be considered until the very last moment without seniority. Maybe they should be honest and admit that they value the CAS primarily for the amount of money they save them. If anything, the level of value the administration places on its CAS workforce is about the same as the value the Chinese military places on its foot soldiers.

With this, they also overlook how the CAS do not “reduced teaching loads” of the full time faculty, but in fact enhance them by forcing them to serve more time on hiring committees for the CAS labour force due to their unwieldy system of seniority. They overlook the extra burden their money-saving scheme places on full-time faculty.

Another contradiction arises when they fully agree that there are many CAS who are recently-graduated Ph.D.s and academics looking to get into full-time positions (who also sit on committees) while claiming that their role and responsibility is 100% teaching. It is impossible to get a full-timed position without the service on committees and the research, which the administration seems to deny that many CAS even do, let alone supply them with time and research grants while freely accepting the benefits that comes from their research. While being hopeful and open to CAS seeking full-timed position, they wilfully deny them the tools to achieve so. While claiming that their job is 100% teaching, they also offer (a pitiful) amount to help with their research. This is hypocrisy in action. Even with their closed-circuit logic, the 100% teaching idea fails to account for the research needed to keep classes fresh with updated information of the developments in that particular subject area – a key point in keeping Laurier’s education competitive.

Further, they overlook many key tidbits in these negotiations – like, despite the wish for 33% of the Laurier faculty to be CAS, 65% of the communication studies department is staffed by part-timers. They make no notice on how they can address that. They also repeat their claim on the “standing offer” of meeting to bargain more often with the CAS negotiating team – a noble offer, even though through the history of these negotiations they have been incompetent in their bargaining (case and point – it look them two hours to prepare with the conciliator last Friday) and they fail to acknowledge that the CAS team is busy conducting their lives as full-time instructors, even though they fail to admit that too.

Finally, the biggest insult to the intelligence of an average student comes from their chart comparing salaries of Laurier and other universities. To starters, they’re using data of the 2006-2007 year – last time I checked we were living in 2008. For a real comparison, we must think that other universities are paying now and will be paying in the future in order to stay competitive – there’s no point in using old data to argue your point. Then, they fail to add the HCSA and other benefits to the total summary while freely adding on the 4% they fork over to the CAS right now. Then, they list distant (or brand new) universities like Trent or Nipissing with whom Laurier does not need to compete since they are too far for commuting travel. Then, they (deliberately?) ignore UW and how, for just a fifteen-minute walk, it offers their profs 700 dollars more at least (in the arts) for teaching the same stuff or how their grad students make more than our Ph.D. profs – the numbers are listed on their faculty association’s website. Finally – they neither list nor provide links to other benefits like job security, office space, large class subsidies, professional reimbursement, research grants, tuition benefits, and etc. that are offered at other universities; which is simply disingenuous when you’re trying to make a valid comparison between Laurier and other universities. Lastly – they ignore the real issue at stake of people trying to make a living, especially when doing all the things full-time faculty are doing while getting paid almost half as much.

Are you furious at them, yet?

As I said, this ploy by the administration is petty in its attempt to catch up to the information victory we and WLUFA achieved in the past weeks. Their hollow words do not address the key student concerns nor offer valid arguments for why should they continue to treat the part-timers like they have been. It’s a shameless ploy that only displays the disconnection they have with the concerns of the average student. It is the faculty that has been upfront to talk to us about it through these negotiations especially when Herbert Pimlott, the Media Relations executive of WLUFA, sacrificed his lunch break to eloquently address our concerns in the concourse on Friday. No administrator has done that, not with this website, not in the concourse, not through sacrificing a lunch break for mere students. By their respective actions, I think we see who is more honourable and deserving of our full support in these negotiations.

The Strike Vote has Passed

From the WLUFA website:

The CAS Strike Authorization ballot was completed today.

89.4% voted in favour of authorizing the WLUFA executive to call a strike if necessary.

The teams will be in mediation on Monday March 17th and Tuesday March 18th. The Bargaining Unit will be in a legal position to strike as of 12:01 am on Wednesday March 19th.

Now, before anyone panics let it be emphasized - this does not mean there will be a strike. It only gives the executive power to call for one if mediation on the 17th and 18th fails. If anything, this vote says that a strike may be averted because it puts more pressure on the administration to settle. Also, look at that number and what it is saying - there are 365 CAS/part-time profs now at Laurier and 89.4% are fed up with the way they are being treated by the administration, so much so, that they are willing to do the most drastic labour action they can to fight for their livelihood. If all 365 of them voted, 326 of them are fed up with their working conditions to that point - that's a lot of our profs very, very upset.

It's paramount now that we stand behind them in this time of need and much still depends on us, the students, who have a big stake in these negotiations - we must pressure the administration to settle, the profs need our support. So, even if it's for a few minutes, show up to our demonstration on Monday 17th at noon - it will be leaving from the Dining Hall, concourse, and the Science Building atrium to gather in the quad outside of the Fred Nichols Campus Centre by about 12:15-12:30. We need more people there to show that Laurier stands united behind the part-timers!

Strike vote, Tuesday. Strike, March 19th?

Dear all,

I am writing a general letter again, and it is with great concern for all of us. When I say this, I mean not only us students, but also the CAS who will be poised to strike in the next week.

As the subject of this note indicates, due to the lack of progress in negotiation, the CAS will holding a strike vote next week, Tuesday. It is at this time that we must all remember that strike is not a pleasant choice. When workers go on strike, the first 3-4 days are unpaid before strike pay starts. Strike pay is only a percentage of a regular wage, and their regular wage is already a raw deal. The CAS members are our teachers, but we have to remember that they are people, home-owners, tenants, parents, spouses, people with real life worries. We stand to suffer in our education, but they are fighting for their livelihood.

Even with this vote, the administration is also in position to lockout the CAS. This is a nerve-wracking time for us, but it is a scary time for the CAS.

In light of this, WLUFA responded to our questions and concerns after every twist and turn. It was with great disappointment that they informed us about this vote. This is not the result that they have been hoping for, but it takes two parties to negotiate. There are clearly major issues outstanding.

WLUFA keeps its members informed by email and newsletters released to its website, which we have been checking to pass on this information to you. WLUFA has set up information tables, handed out brochures, created poster campaigns (some of us have approached our professors who wear the pin-badges), and has kept in touch with the Cord since the end of October. As we all sit in tense lectures, wondering whether or not we will even be attending in a couple of weeks, whether or not we will need to cross picket lines to get to classes, the administration has not released an ounce of information about how we will be compensated for our term. As we worry about the status of professional and grad school applications, as we worry about time spent and money lost, they have yet to give any information that sheds light on our situation.

It is at this point that I challenge the administration to inform us. I would like to see the administration shed some light on all of this too. I challenge them to create a website with the latest news, like wlufa.ca. I challenge them to talk to us about how they are going to change the situation for the CAS and improve their working conditions. I challenge them to come and talk to us in the Concourse and answer our questions, like WLUFA has, at our request. So far, the administration has sent out a canned email response, riddled with grammatical errors, telling us nothing relevant.

After all, the CAS's working conditions, are our learning conditions.

In solidarity,

Terre

State of WLUFA Negotiations

I tried to get as much information as I could from WLUFA about the current state of the negotiations before I made this entry. You can read their latest newsletter here: http://www.wlufa.ca/negotiations.html.

As for our own research, I have both good news and bad news. The bad news first - as you might have gotten from the linked page above, as many expected, the conciliator did not resolve the issue between the part-timers and the administration and the negotiations continue as well as preparation for a strike on the part of the part-timers.

The good (and really the best) news is that our actions have not went unheard - the part-time faculty is re-energized by the burst of support from students. In less than a week, we have gathered over 1300 signatures of the petition and hundreds of leaflets with the e-mails of administrators have been given out. Such enormous support on behalf of the student body has not gone unnoticed by the administration who allowed the negotiations to progress a little before grinding them back to a halt again.

What this shows is that if we want these negotiations to progress and end in peace and if we want to save our semester from a part-time faculty strike, the burden of progress falls to us - more signatures, more e-mails, more concerns, more talk. The Cord will be publishing another article on the issue tomorrow while we are hitting the concourse and the public places. Feel free to come by and grab a petition in order to circulate it to your peers, friends, and classmates. In the next few days we'll try to make the physical version of the petition available online for download. In the meantime ask for a copy of the petition from me (tolyv@hotmail.com) or Terre (terrester@gmail.com) and we'll gladly e-mail one to you. Take a personal initiative - there's no reason why this movement needs to be centralized. All the while, send this link of the online petition to out of town friends and family members who also need to have a say on the issue - http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/support-laurier-part-time-faculty.

Brief History of Negotiations

In the past couple of days as gathering the signatures took a toll on us in our daily life, we realized that we can’t, due to time constraints, carry on this campaign just on the backs of three people. So, I decided to write a short history of the current labour dispute between the CAS (Contract Academic Staff) and the administration in hopes that people will be more knowledgeable and hence more willing to run the table, spread the petition, and talk to their peers about this topic that’s so crucial to everyone’s education at Laurier. A detailed story of these talks can always be found at the WLUFA website (www.wlufa.ca).

According to the terms of the last contract between the part-time faculty members of WLUFA and the administration the part-time faculty received 6,000 dollars per half-credit course with often little or no benefits in terms of dental, health, retirement, or job security. Further, few part-time professors had adequate offices in which to meet the students and answer their questions about course material. Despite the name, many of the part-time faculty taught five or six courses a year (five being the typical for full-time faculty) while at the same time being at Laurier for many, many years. This amounted to a petty wage of 30,000 to 36,000 a year that had to cover their living and research expenses. It is no wonder that many of them taught during the summer and worked at numerous universities in the region, some driving for hours for work.

Despite these atrocious conditions in the past five years the university administration siphoned off 20 million (20,000,000) dollars from education and into building and renovation work – none of which went into building offices for the part-time professors.

In the middle of 2007, the CAS contract expired and the negotiating committee began negotiations for a new one on August 29th. Their aim was to improve their pay and benefits, ask for better working conditions, and introduce a new system for job security based upon the years they taught at the universe, not by the years they taught a particular course. While some of the more trivial aspects of the contract got renewed, the administration bargaining committee (hindered also by a much less experienced negotiating team) would not agree upon those key issues. And so, with little competence and sheer stubbornness left over from the previous presidency, negotiations that were supposed to end in the fall dragged unto past Christmas in a literal stalemate – the administration refuses to admit that part-timers, despite teaching 33% of the courses and 40% of the students, play an integral part in the workings of Wilfrid Laurier University.

With negotiations looking bleak and the prospect of a strike becoming more likely by the moment, the students who have been hearing about this predicament formed this group and began working toward informing and getting the students involved in these negotiations. It is a fact that the students comprise the most numerous and the most powerful group at the university since it is their tuition fees (especially when combined with government subsidies) that funds this university. In basically two days last week – Wednesday and Friday, we gathered close to 1000 signatures from concerned students who care about their part-time profs which is quite an accomplishment for a movement organized by basically three full-time students.

While word reached us that we are making some effect – both in re-energizing the part-time cause and being a pain in the ass to the administration with the long stream of e-mails flowing into the inboxes of the administrators. We fear it might be too little, too late. On Friday, as many of you know, the CAS bargaining team and the administration bargaining team met with a third party conciliator to break the stalemate. While the latest Cord article might have you believe that the negotiations are progressing nicely, it is either a straight-faced lie in a vain hope that we are as naive about these issues or Kevin Crowley, Associate Director of News and Editorial Services at Laurier, is ignorant of the issues. A conciliator is never called in when the negotiations are progressing, but the opposite, when there is a deadlock and it is the last chance to settle the affair before there is a strike. In fact, when the full-time faculty negotiates for a new deal they have a new contract within two months, now it’s been six.

Even though we try to be optimistic that the meeting with the conciliator, which dragged late into the evening, would be productive – we get every indication that both sides were too far removed on their positions to come to any agreement. If there is no mutual agreement within two weeks the part-time faculty are legally allowed to strike and they are preparing. It’s now only a matter of time unless something gets done.

So, let us send more e-mails (and calls) to the administration, send more encouraging e-mails to the part-time faculty, give this link to anyone who can’t sign the physical petition (http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/support-laurier-part-time-faculty), And most importantly join us on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday we’re we’ll be circulating more petitions in the concourse and speaking to classes and making every effort possible to avoid a strike and give the part-timers a favourable deal. The task is a hefty one but there are 14,000 of us and we can do it.

Act

There has been expressed to us on what students can do to act in support of their part-time profs, both to prevent a strike and because they are such great instructors. So, we will lay down everything a student, a parent, a friend, or just a concerned individual can and should do.

First, if they have Facebook, join the part-timers support groups here (Wilfrid Laurier only) and here (global). It should be noted that only people with Facebook accounts can see these pages, unfortunately.

Secondly, if they don't have physical access to Wilfrid Laurier, being a concerned individual some distance away, they can sign the online version of the petition here. Only one signature per person please. They should also not hesitate of sending out the link to the online petition (www.thepetitionsite.com/1/support-laurier-part-time-faculty) to anyone who wouldn't mind signing it.

Third, e-mail or (better) call the head administrators of Wilfrid Laurier University to express your concern for the issue. From what we have heard, our actions are making an impact on the negotiations. The full list of people who can influence the negotiations are as follows:

Max Blouw (President of the University) – max.blouw@wlu.ca (519) 884-0710 ext. 2250
Beverly Harris (Chair of the Board of Governors) – bharrison@wlu.ca (519) 884-0710 ext. 2443
Sue Horton (Vice-President: Academic) – shorton@wlu.ca (519) 884-0710 ext. 2221
Jim Butler (Vice-President: Finance & Administration) – jbutler@wlu.ca (519) 884-0710 ext. 2248
Scott Hayter (Vice-President: University Advancement) – shayter@wlu.ca (519) 884-0710 ext. 3173
Leo Groarke (Vice-President: Brantford) – lgroarke@wlu.ca (519) 756-8228 ext. 5702

Joan Norris (Dean of Graduate Studies) – jnorris@wlu.ca (519) 884-0710 ext. 3324
David Pfrimmer (Head of the Seminary) – dpfrimmer@wlu.ca (519) 884-0710 ext. 3229

Fourth, e-mail your part-time/CAS profs and voice your support for the education they are providing and the steps they are taking to be recognized as contributing members to the Laurier community. Also, consider e-mailing this special list of people who comprise the CAS bargaining team. I was talking to one of them and they are very happy for the support they are receiving:

Doug Lorimer (History) - dlorimer@wlu.ca
Jonathan Haxell (Archaeology and Anthropology) - jhaxell@wlu.ca
Mike Skelton (Library) - mskelton@wlu.ca
Laurie Blaikie (WLUFA) - lblaikie@wlu.ca
Michele Kramer (English and Film Studies) - mkramer@wlu.ca

Fifth, hit the classes - ask your profs permission to come and briefly speak and do it. This information needs to be distributed.

Finally, go to the WLUFA website and read up on the topic. Get acquainted and help us spread the news of the negotiations to everyone because we always could use more people talking and circulating the petitions, even if it's just for half an hour.

Schedule for Talks

Due to an overwhelming response from faculty wishing us to talk to their classes about the CAS issue, we have created a schedule of all the profs asking us to come and talk to them. To do so, get some petitions, inform yourself, e-mail the profs to whose classes you can come to alert them to expect you, and then come by during the allotted time to give a brief talk of what's been happening and what's at stake and pass around the petition sheet (filled out petition sheets can be dropped off at the WLUFA office in 2C12 to Larissa or slid under the door when she's not there). Here's the schedule of the profs who asked one of us to come:
