CEW PLANS

Wilfrid Laurier University
Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

Part-time Faculty and Librarians at Wilfrid Laurier unionized last year and are in the midst of negotiating their first contract. Much of their FEW efforts will concentrate on hammering out an agreement with their employer.

However, part-time faculty and academic librarians also want to try to emphasize the positive contribution that part-timers make to the university. They intend to generate posters that will highlight some of the research and other projects that part-time academic staff are involved in. These will augment a FEW information booth set up in the concourse that represents something of a physical center at the University.

This organization has the advantage that it will provide the opportunity to distribute buttons and information in support of our negotiations while at the same time expressing support for part-time academic staff generally in the context of Fair Employment Week. The display will underscore the positive contribution made by part-time educators both for the students as well as for the administration and even full-time faculty who really haven't paused
to consider what part-time academic staff actually do.
