YUSA Launches new Training Program for Members
By President Joanie Cameron Pritchett
YUSA has been working on the new program
for some time and had hoped that the
employer would endorse this training. To
date, that remains to be seen. However, we
did not want any more time to go by before
we commence this valuable training.
This training was designed specifically for
YusApuY members who supervise other members. We will open this training first to members who have "supervision" included in their job descriptions and then we will offer it to the YusApuY community at large. It is one full day of training and the day will be broken in half. The first half of the day is called "How to supervise in a Unionized Environment" and the second half of the day is entitled "Occupational Health and Safety Supervisor Training."
If you are currently a supervisor of YusApuY members and would like to register for one of the following dates for this training, please contact the York University Staff Association office at extension 55109 and register with Elizabeth. Space is limited and this will be offered to YusApuY Supervisors on a first come, first serve basis.
Dates:
February 3, 2011
March 15, 2011
April 15, 2011
May 10, 2011
I am looking forward to 2011. I am, however, cognizant of the multiple challenges we will face this year with respect to bargaining and the sheer number of outstanding grievances. I am certain, with the support of this membership that the 2011 YusApuY Executive Board will achieve the objectives and goals that we set.
I look forward to hearing from the membership on any issues and I am honoured to continue to serve as your President in 2011.
