It's been six months since our AGM, and over a year since COVID started, so I wanted to update APSA members on a number of "APSA-wide" items that have been ongoing during that time.
Our survey was conducted in March and represents a snapshot of how our members were feeling at the time. APSA acknowledges that our members' concerns may change based on increased vaccination, lower COVID-19 cases and other factors. We had 775 members participate in this survey which is approximately half of all APSA members.
Each month, our Advocacy Committee answers your questions about the AD 10 policies (aka, your terms and conditions of employment.)
Arbitrations and Grievances
APSA and the University came to a mediated settlement regarding the Colin Taylor Award. Read the full settlement here. We are also in the process of negotiating a settlement on a Human Rights case.
Please give a warm welcome to these new APSA members who have joined us in the past month.
