Dear Capilano Faculty Association (CFA) Members,
We are pleased to share with you the following details about the faculty association membership ratification vote on the 2019-2020 Collective Agreement!
Question: Are you in favour of ratifying the 2019-2022 collective agreement?
- Yes - 393 Votes (99.2%)
- No - 3 Votes (0.8%)
- Voter Turnout: 396 (57.5%) of 689 electors voted in this ballot.
Key Takeaway - Better Understanding of Working Conditions & Collective Agreement Processes
This is an ideal time to remind faculty members that the "collective" part of the term collective agreement means this is a written contract between the bargaining unit (Capilano Faculty Association) and the Employer (Capilano University) that details the terms and conditions of employment. A 314% jump in voter turnout bodes well for expecting a broader and deeper understanding of the processes and working conditions clarified in the collective agreement, and more importantly that this is a contract, mutually agreed to, and expected to the followed by both parties. Let's be conscious of replacing the inaccurate phrase "Your Agreement" with the more accurate term "Our Agreement"
The collective agreement is considered "ratified" by the bargaining unit if a majority (50% +1) of those voting vote to accept the terms of the tentative collective agreement. A collective agreement is ratified by the University, when the tentative agreement is approved by the Board of Governors. Once both parties have ratified the tentative collective agreement, it is finalized and implemented.

Shared governance
For decades, shared governance has been at the heart of how universities run.
In fact, university boards are typically mandated by law to include relevant stakeholders (academic staff, administrators, students and members of the public) in their decision-making process. Watch the video! https://youtu.be/gvZcFB0RxAE

The Welcoming Ceremony.
Oct 8, 2019
Fair Employment Week is October 7 to 11, 2019. CAUT members across Canada are hosting events on campus to support fair treatment of all academic staff.
PLEDGE
I express my support to those who stand for the fair treatment of all academic staff regardless of employment status. All professors should receive fair compensation for teaching, research and service.
Each year, thousands of academics are hired on precarious contracts with poor working conditions. We can do better.
Make it fair.
