Work here at UWSA continues on behalf of all members, and I am very pleased to report we’ve had some big wins this year! Here’s just a few of them:
Hello to all my fellow UW staff,
We find ourselves at the beginning of a new term at UW - one like we've never had before - completely online for our students. Classes start this Monday, May 11. While many universities have a very slow spring/summer term, Waterloo remains very busy. I believe this will serve us well as preparation for the Fall term.
Hello to all our UW staff, and Happy Friday - it's pay day! I am still very grateful that our employer has largely been able to keep us all employed and paid while so many others are needing to navigate the supports being made available from our federal and provincial governments. I also understand that the scheduled pay increases set for May 1st are in progress and will be happening.
Dear Waterloo staff,
I am reaching out to you today to give you an update on the activities of the University of Waterloo Staff Association (UWSA). We have been in regular contact with the University’s senior administration, including weekly meetings of the Pandemic Planning Committee, along with our colleagues from the Faculty Association (FAUW) and CUPE. While we have been sending out regular updates to our members, I wanted to reach out to all staff as the topics we’ve discussed and sent out affect all of you.
