To: All Staff, Faculty and Students From: Deborah McCallum, Vice-President (Administration) Date: 18 August 2010 Re: Labour Relations Update - AESES-UMSS (Security Services) As of Wednesday, August 18, 2010, the University of Manitoba and AESES-UMSS (Security Services) have not been successful in reaching a collective agreement. In the event that the University's final offer is not accepted by the members as of Friday, August 20, 2010, an impasse will have been reached and either strike action or a lockout would occur. This would apply only to Security Services Patrol Officers and Supervisors and would not apply to the AESES main bargaining unit. Should a strike or lockout occur: (i) the University will continue to operate in the normal course. Scheduled classes will continue to be held and support services will be maintained; (ii) the University will ensure that security is maintained through the services of one or more security firms. Contact Linda Lavallee, Director Security Services at 474-8709, with any particular concerns that may need to be addressed. All staff, students and the general public have the right to cross picket lines. Staff not included in the AESES-UMSS (Security Services) bargaining unit are expected to work as usual during any strike/lockout of AESES-UMSS (Security Services) members.

Action Required Dear all U of M students, As you may be aware, when you graduate from a post-secondary institution and live and work in Manitoba you are eligible for a rebate on tuition paid after December 31, 2003. Manitoba Finance and the Canada Revenue Agency require the University of Manitoba to send your T2202A tax receipt information to them each year to verify your eligibility for this rebate. Your consent is required for the University of Manitoba to begin submitting this information on your behalf. Consent is required only once. T2202A information for 2010 will be sent in early 2011. To provide your consent, log into Aurora Student and go to Enrolment & Academic Records |Declarations | Declare Consent for Release of T2202A Tax Receipt Information. Read the information carefully and either consent or decline to have your information sent to Manitoba Finance and the Canada Revenue Agency in support of the tuition tax credit. If you choose to decline, your T2202A receipt information will not be forwarded to Manitoba Finance and the Canada Revenue Agency. If you do not respond by June 30, 2010 you will be required to do so the next time you log in to register or to access your grades. The Hold that prevents you from registering or viewing grades will be removed immediately after you respond and you may proceed immediately without further delay. i.e. you will not have to log again. Further information on the Manitoba Tuition Fee Income Tax Rebate Program is available at http://gov.mb.ca/tuitionrebate/faq.html Questions? On the U of M homepage, select the Current Student tab and type your question in the 'askumanitoba for current students' question area.
