Volunteer for the Grievance Committee

May 21, 2025

Are you inter­est­ed in vol­un­teer­ing in our union this year? Now is your oppor­tu­ni­ty to join the URFA Griev­ance Com­mit­tee.

The Griev­ance Com­mit­tee sup­ports and enhances the griev­ance pro­ce­dure — a process by which a mem­ber of the union, or a group of mem­bers, files a for­mal com­plaint about work­ing con­di­tions, harass­ment and bul­ly­ing, or anoth­er vio­la­tion of their rights.

The Griev­ance Com­mit­tee meets on the sec­ond Tues­day of every month to review, dis­cuss, and pro­vide direc­tion on griev­ance files. Mem­bers of the com­mit­tee are vol­un­teers who pro­vide over­sight and help ensure that URFA ful­fills its duty of fair rep­re­sen­ta­tion, advo­cat­ing for mem­bers in a man­ner con­sis­tent with the prin­ci­ples of nat­ur­al jus­tice and pro­ce­dur­al fair­ness.

Hav­ing a diverse group of mem­bers from all of the bar­gain­ing units rep­re­sent­ed by URFA is impor­tant to ensure many per­spec­tives are reflect­ed dur­ing the griev­ance process.

Vol­un­teers are cur­rent­ly need­ed from the fol­low­ing con­stituen­cies:

1 from Uni­ver­si­ty of Regi­na — Aca­d­e­m­ic
3‑year term (ends April 30, 2028)

1 from Luther — Aca­d­e­m­ic
2‑year term (ends April 30, 2027)

1 from First Nations Uni­ver­si­ty of Cana­da — Aca­d­e­m­ic

1 Cam­pi­on or Luther — Ses­sion­al Mem­ber

Vol­un­teers are also cur­rent­ly need­ed for alter­nates:

Serv­ing as an alter­nate is a good oppor­tu­ni­ty to learn more about the role and busi­ness of the Griev­ance Com­mit­tee. Alter­nates are invit­ed to attend all meet­ings, but only have vot­ing priv­i­leges if the reg­u­lar mem­ber of their con­stituen­cy is not in atten­dance.
