Email from @mcgillu: "It's a perfect opportunity for you to review the details of your holdings in the McGill University Pension Plan (MUPP)." This is true but not in the way #McGill thinks. (Spoiler: your pension is worse than everywhere and maybe not even a pension!)

Congratulations to our colleagues in Continuing Education! We welcome you to the confederation of unionized profs!
(Posted this prematurely the other day but the embargo has been lifted) A 4th faculty at McGill has organized a union & they have already submitted their cards for certification! Welcome to AMASCS: the Association of McGill Academic Staff of the School of Continuing Studies!

"Steering" is the practice commonly used by academic administrators that aims to give "soft" directives in a way that the administration can plausibly deny *are* directives. It is fundamentally dishonest and undermines #collegialgovernance. 1/8

Oh, also: thank you, thank you to @CAUT_ACPPU & @FQPPU, whose financial assistance and other support has been critical. We would not have made it this far without them!

To clarify: McGill has dropped its principal challenge (concerning our existence). It will continue to challenge on scope (e.g., contract academic staff) and other membership eligibility questions (Dept. Chairs and Associate Deans). But that won't stop our imminent certification.
