Conversion and LSTA Appointments

The results of the Conversion and Long Service Teaching Appointment (LSTA) exercise for the 2024-2025 collective agreement year are now available!

CUPE 3903 would like to congratulate all members who have received a Conversion or LSTA. These programs, which allow some measure or stability or advancement for long serving contract faculty, are a small but notable bargaining win in the ongoing fight for job security at York University.

If you have questions or concerns about the process or results for either the conversions or LSTAs, please contact Julian Arend, Staff Representative, at staffrep2@cupe3903.org.
