Who You Gonna Call?

With the start of another academic year, it’s time for a reminder that the UWFA Office is here for you to contact regarding any concerns you have related to terms and conditions of employment. Our members are our eyes and ears, so if you become aware of any situation that you think might involve a breach of the provisions of the Collective Agreement, please let us know.

Call or e-mail Lisa McGifford, UWFA’s Staff Officer, at 789-1441. Also, a word of warning: if you find yourself in any situation in which you are asked to agree to something that you think is unfair, or even irregular, please contact Lisa before you agree or disagree. Some of our stickiest grievance situations involve members who have said “yes” to something, only to come to us later because they have been treated unfairly. Although we still do our best to represent such members, the fact that they have agreed to whatever was proposed is an impediment – so please contact UWFA before agreeing to anything unusual.
