Meet the candidates in the 2024 UWSA elections. There are two candidates for president and six for director, with four open seats on the board.
This month, Yessenia has updates on the UW career advisor position, the Strategic Talent & Performance Management Framework and the merit program, our elections, and some important upcoming events on campus this month.
The UWSA is seeking nominations for two important leadership roles: The president-elect and four directors to help lead the association for the next three years.
In May 2024, hundreds of staff and faculty signed an open letter calling for (among other things) the employee associations at Waterloo and Laurier to “disclose and divest all funds and investments from all companies complicit in Israeli apartheid, occupation, and genocide.”
This month, Yessenia has updates on new directors on the board, the Pay Cycles Working Group, Contract Staff Working Group, meeting with Vivek, salary discussions, and more.
In the summer of 2023, the Faculty Association and Staff Association teamed up to distribute more than 5,000 pride flag stickers to employees, with the hope that thousands of pride stickers displayed all over our four campuses would help send the message that all members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community belong at Waterloo.
Here’s Yessenia’s report from the Area Representatives meeting on May 9.
Here’s Yessenia’s report from the Area Representatives meeting on April 18, covering salary discussions, T2200 forms, parking, and a first impression of our member survey results.
Like many of you, we have spent time carefully reading the announcement and FAQ about the changes coming to parking services. If you have not read the full announcement on the website, or the FAQ, we encourage you to do that as it may answer some of the questions you undoubtedly have. We encourage you to reach out to strnsprt@uwaterloo.ca with any additional questions.
The UW Staff Association (UWSA) is surveying members this month to measure progress on our strategic plan, improve our services, and continue to monitor the UW work environment and the impacts of the pandemic.
