TSSU met with the employer for bargaining on August 26th. TSSU gave a thorough presentation of our proposals on Teaching Assistants (TAs), Tutor Markers (TMs) and Sessional Instructors (SIs). Despite having received TSSU’s package of proposals on June 4th, the employer again did not come prepared with their proposals. At the table, SFU’s bargaining team committed to finally providing TSSU with a full enunciation of their proposals via email by September 12th. The parties next scheduled bargaining date is September 16, 2014.

To find out more information on TSSU’s bargaining position, please follow our bargaining website at http://bargaining.tssu.ca. Members can also come by our office on Burnaby Campus at AQ 5129 to discuss bargaining with one of our contract committee members.

Members who are interested in getting involved are encouraged to join one of our committees. Please email tssu(at)tssu.ca or see https://www.tssu.ca/committees/ for more information.
