We held four Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) Consultations in June and July to give all UWaterloo staff the opportunity to attend and learn about the updated MOA. Over 300 UWaterloo staff participated in these sessions; our thanks to all of you for your attendance and engagement with this process so far.
Each
session
included
a
presentation that
described
what
the existing
MOA did
for
us,
listed
some
key
improvements
the
updated
MOA
(PDF)
includes,
and
laid
out
the
expected
timeline
for
implementation.
There
was
also
a
live
Q&A
period,
with
the
questions
and
answers
being
recorded
on
the
MOA
Consultation
web
page.
In presenting on the timeline, we indicated that we planned to open the vote on August 23; that has not yet happened. We continue to work with UWaterloo on some fine details, and we’ll do our best to keep you, our members, updated as this work progresses. And while we may need to consider minor wording changes should UWaterloo require them, please be assured that any changes altering the meaning – or the spirit – of the updated MOA as presented at the consultation sessions will be brought to our members for review.
Thank you for your patience as we continue to work toward a strengthened MOA for all.
