SUMMARY:BIPOC Caucus: CLiFF Screening
DESCRIPTION:From the BIPOC Caucus: \nAbout CLIFF: The first ever Canadian Labour International Film Festival was held in 2009. It was the first-ever labour-oriented film festival in Canada. It tells the stories of workers – unionized and non-unionized. \nShadow Work: This short documentary looks at “shadow work”: tasks that are not part of an employee’s official job description\, but are necessary for the organization to function\, and may be unpaid and unseen. \nUnion and University: Disgruntled graduate students disrupt two hundred years of peaceful exploitation by going on strike. The university administration hires private investigators\, security\, and a full surveillance package to keep the campus safe. Is this 2025 or 1925? \nThis event is open to ALL members\, not only racialized members\, throughout all units. The screening will be held in the GeoHUB in the HNES (Health\, Nursing\, & Environmental Studies) building. RSVP using the form linked here.

Her primary role as Career Advisor is to assist contract faculty members in career planning and Professional Development to prepare them to apply for conversion and tenure-stream applications at York. In addition to these workshops. Dr. Bird will be holding two additional workshops before the conversions’ application deadline. Details of the future workshop will be posted online and in the CUPE 3903 newsletter. \nDr. Bird is also available for one-on-one consultations about building your application file.

SUMMARY:3903 Pal Sol Working Group: FOI Skills Session
DESCRIPTION:From the rank-and-file members in the CUPE 3903 Palestine Solidarity Working Group: \nWant to build your organising skills? Want to learn how to file a Freedom of Information (FOI) request? Under provincial law (FIPPA)\, universities (and other public institutions) are required to retain records of their internal communications and decision-making processes — records that members of the public can request to be disclosed. Needless to say\, this can be a vital tool for holding institutions to account. Join the CUPE 3903 Pal Sol Working Group for a skills-sharing session on FIPPA / FOIs on October 6th from 4:00-5:30pm in FSC 430. \n*The FOI session will be followed by an introduction to the Pal Sol WG’s own research work aimed at documenting York’s deep ties to anti-Palestinian agendas.

SUMMARY:Conversion and LSTA Application Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join our Conversion and Careers Advisor\, Professor Kym Bird\, for the first in a series of workshops on preparing your application for conversion and other tenure-stream hiring searches at York. This first workshop will focus primarily on helping Unit 2 members in the Conversion (or “Affirmative Action”) Pool to prepare their applications for conversion appointments. \nMonday 29 September\, 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. (online at this link via Zoom)  \nThe workshop will focus on advising members on: \n\nHow the conversion process works\nHow to prepare strong files in teaching\, research\, and service\nHow to make yourself as attractive as possible as a candidate for potential upcoming positions at York \n\n  \nThe best application files are constructed over time! An application for a conversion appointment\, for example\, must include a current curriculum vitae; letters of reference (including external letters); and an assessment by the hiring unit of the candidate’s teaching\, research\, and scholarly or creative work\, their service potential\, how their appointment fulfills departmental needs\, and (where appropriate and in light of the candidate’s unique career path) an assessment of the candidate’s potential for participation in graduate teaching and supervision. \nMembers applying for conversion are generally required to submit their applications in February for appointments beginning July 1. (More details of the process will be communicated later by Faculty Relations and the Union.) \nConversion and Career Advice Workshops are open to all CUPE 3903 members interested in compiling a strong application package for conversion and LSTA appointments or who might\, in future\, be a position to apply for employment under either program.  \nProfessor Kym Byrd is a YUFA member in the Division of Humanities and a former CUPE 3903 Unit 2 member who earned a conversion appointment. Her primary role as Career Advisor is to assist contract faculty members in career planning and Professional Development to prepare them to apply for conversion and tenure-stream applications at York. In addition to these workshops. Dr. Bird will be holding two additional workshops before the conversions’ application deadline. Details of the future workshop will be posted online and in the CUPE 3903 newsletter.  \nDr. Bird is also available for one-on-one consultations about building your application file. Contact Dr. Byrd at kbird@yorku.ca.
