Restructuring: Explained!

Update – October 28, 2024: Do you care about the admin’s restructuring at York? Keep an eye on the calendar for Alternative Restructuring Research Team meetings, and consider getting in touch with someone who’s been through it via Cost Cut Connections!


You may have seen that the York University Faculty Association is trying to resist “restructuring” in its current bargaining with the Employer. Read this to find out why top-down restructuring is an issue we should all care about.

Restructuring leads to cuts that affect all of us at York U! The Employer has mismanaged its finances, so now students and workers are bearing the cost.

Speak up and tell the Employer to stop treating York University like a money-making business instead of a space for learning. Sign the open letter in support of YUFA (linked), read the Auditor General report (also linked), and be vocal!
