“We are our own union, so, as we said from the beginning, it’s gonna be the same people doing the same work, but this time with enhanced legal rights. What we’re hoping is with this new engagement that we’ve had with our membership that we will increase activity and engagement and participation by our members.”
U-Vic faculty association vice-president Dr. Jason Price was speaking with Terry Moore on CFAX this afternoon.
