Fall 2017 semester update
The new semester timeline includes many important dates for TSSU members during the Fall 2017 semester at SFU. A pdf version of the timeline can be found here. Keep up to date with our public calendar, which also includes scheduling for all TSSU committee meetings. Also, check your email for messages from TSSU, follow us on social media (see sidebar for links), and see your departmental TSSU noticeboard (email organizer@tssu.ca if you need help locating it).
If you are on a TSSU contract, your department should provide you with a copy of the Collective Agreement. A pdf version of this document can also be found here. If you are a TA, see p.77 for an example of the Time Use Guideline form, which should be discussed and completed with the instructor in the first week of classes. If you are a TM, see p. 82.
Information on health benefits can be found here and here. Further information for international students enrolled into Guard.me can be found here.
See our previous post for links to our new and updated information pamphlets on BC labor law, healthcare benefits, your rights, and work as a TA or TM.
See here for information on all TSSU committees, including what they cover, and the stipends available to members who join. If you would like to join any committee, come to a GM to get ratified, or notify coordinator@tssu.ca with your interest if you cannot attend.
