Little progress in talks

Just had a report from BUFA's Chief Negotiator about today's meeting with the administration. Evidently while there was some minor movement, the talks were described as "Another day of no progress."



A C- grade for Administration Bargaining!


After all the years of relatively good relations the administration has had with the Faculty Association, it is surprising that the Administration is suddenly being so difficult to deal with.

It is a watershed in labour relations at Brock, in my view. Faculty are about to lose their naivité as traditional collegial negotiation is replaced by hardnosed labour/management standoff posturing.

I don't want to walk out of the classroom -- it is where I belong!


Teaching is what feeds my soul!

You really have to question just how far this administration is willing to gamble with the goodwill of the students whose tuition the university has already taken!

Countdown:

27

days from a strike.
