The Association of Professors of Bishop's University (APBU) is beginning
a long-term examination of pay equity at the university, with particular
consideration of pay equity issues for part-time faculty. The union
recently organized a new bargaining unit of part-time faculty and
ratified its first collective agreement this summer.
The APBUs focus for Fair Employment Week is on membership
mobilization - they are holding a meeting for its part-time members
on October 25, to find out how the implementation of their new contract
is going and to flag any problems. At this meeting, part-time faculty
will brainstorm future activities and actions for the union and
its membership.
