#FactCheckMcGill : McGill University Provost claims that it takes McGill 2.5 years (>900 days) to renew a collective agreement. Data from CAUT demonstrates that the average length of negotiations across Canada is 265 days, even during the pandemic, to renew a collective agreement.

DrJames @YorkU (he/him/il) CUPE 3903 YUFA This is how they always do it, which just makes it worse. I recall this vividly from the end of the 2008 and 2015 strikes I was part of.

DrJames @YorkU (he/him/il) CUPE 3903 YUFA A weekend?

That seems unfair - expecting WORKERS to monitor their email during NON-WORKING hours?

Do their contracts state they must be electronically available between Friday evening and Sunday evening?

Sounds like a PERFECT grievance to me.

Employers need to #DoBetter

DrJames @YorkU (he/him/il) MJNabuurs CUPE 3903 YUFA Disgraceful. I seem to remember something about the right to unplug…

DrJames @YorkU (he/him/il) CUPE 3903 YUFA No wonder there was a strike. Many workplaces are telling people to explicitly state that a response after hours is NOT required if the email was sent after hours.

DrJames @YorkU (he/him/il) CUPE 3903 YUFA Collective agreements in universities need to include hours/days that emails/work are not required. Asking for a response on the weekend with such short notice means they are asked to work on the weekend and be available on emails 24 hrs a day any time the employer feels like it
