by Gerry Miller

*_M E M O R A N D U M_* *Date:* October 10, 2007 *To:* Students *From: * Deborah McCallum, Vice-President (Administration) *Re: Strike Action by the Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) at the University* I wish to advise you that the University and CAW have not been successful in reaching a collective agreement. Strike action by CAW staff began today Wednesday, October 10. The CAW includes 480 physical plant staff (caretakers, maintenance, trades, etc.), food service and residence personnel. The University will continue to operate as normal to the extent possible. Classes will continue as scheduled. The libraries will remain open. Students have the right to choose whether or not to cross the picket line. The University will make efforts to reasonably accommodate the student to ensure that the student is not discriminated against as a result of their decision. However, students are responsible for materials covered in class. These students should contact their instructors to discuss reasonable accommodation. All parties, including employees on strike and individuals crossing picket lines, are responsible for refraining from illegal behaviour. Please exercise patience and caution in crossing picket lines. Picket line activity will be video taped and recorded for safety and security purposes and will be made available to Winnipeg Police Service, if necessary. If difficulties are experienced crossing the picket line please contact Security Services at 474-9312. Rogers and MTS Mobility cellular customers can also reach Security Services by dialing #555. Food Services will be reduced, however some locations will remain open as identified below. Students are encouraged to bring their own lunch during the strike. Winnipeg Transit will operate and have indicated that they will cross the picket line. However, staff and students are encouraged to allow extra time to get to work and classes. The shuttle bus will also operate but may experience some delays. Special arrangements have been made to continue on campus (Fort Garry) transportation for students with disabilities. Regular custodial services are not available. Arrangements are in progress to ensure the washroom facilities will be maintained. Garbage bins are scheduled to be placed on campus and they will be emptied on a regular basis. Cleaning of individual offices will not be provided. Staff and student support in caring for the campus is appreciated. Maps showing the location of the garbage bins will be posted across campus and on the University web site. Services will be provided so that the following sports facilities are operational: * Max Bell Ice Rink and Field House * Investors Group Athletic Centre * Joyce Fromson Pool The surfaces of the stadium infield and the soccer practice fields will be maintained. An Information Hotline (943-8636) has been set up with a recorded message to provide information to the community about the services of the University during the strike. Additional inquiries can be made by checking the University of Manitoba web site www.umanitoba.ca <http://www.umanitoba.ca/> or by contacting the strike call centre during regular working hours at 474-9963. Thank you for your patience and cooperation. cc Dr. E.J.E. Szathmáry Dr. R. Kerr Dr. J. Keselman Ms E. Goldie

by Debbie McCallum

16 years, 7 months

[EMEMO] [Fwd: Re: Possible Strike Action by the Canadian Auto Works (CAW) at the University]

by Debbie McCallum

TO ALL STUDENTS AND STAFF The University and CAW have been bargaining since September 24th in an effort to reach a new Collective Agreement. On October 3, 2007 the University applied for conciliation when negotiations reached an impasse. The CAW membership voted in favour of establishing a strike deadline of midnight Tuesday, October 9, 2007. Should negotiations be unsuccessful in reaching a collective agreement by that date, strike action by CAW staff could take place as early as Wednesday, October 10. The CAW represents approximately 480 University employees in the maintenance trades, powerhouse, general services (truck deliveries, snow clearing, garbage pick up, etc.), grounds, caretaking, residences and food services. In the event of a strike, the University will continue normal operations to the extent possible. Although a CAW labour action may have some impact on aspects of University operations, it is not expected to have a direct impact on the delivery of academic programs. In the event of a strike the following standard employment procedures apply: 1. During a strike all employees have a legal right to work: * All employees have a legal right to cross a picket line and come to work. * Those employees on strike may choose to come to work or not come to work. * Those employees not on strike, including those employees covered by collective agreements other than CAW agreement and excluded employees, have a legal right to work as well as an obligation to come to work. 2. Employees who do not come to work will not be paid and may be subject to discipline. 3. Any picket line incidents or problems should be reported immediately to the University Security Services (474-9312). Rogers and MTS Mobility cellular customers can also reach Security by dialing #555. In the event of a strike, students should be aware of the following: 1. Classes, lectures and labs will continue as scheduled unless otherwise announced. 2. Libraries will remain open. 3. Winnipeg Transit and the University shuttle bus will continue to operate. 4. Some services around campus (eg. Food Services, custodial) will be reduced. Should a strike occur, more information will be made available. 5. Residence food service and cleaning will be provided by non-union staff. 6. Any picket line incidents or problems should be reported immediately to the University Security Services (474-9312). Rogers and MTS Mobility cellular customers can also reach Security by dialing #555. In the event of a strike, more information will be provided to you through the University web site, e-mail communications and an information hotline at the earliest possible opportunity on Wednesday October 10. -- Deborah J.

If you have a Hold or Academic Status (such as Suspension) that prevents registration, this will also be noted. If you have been away for awhile and your account has been inactivated as a result, this will also be noted. . If you see that you have a Hold that prevents registration, click View Holds at the bottom of the page for details. Note that Honours and Major students in the Faculty of Science and the Riddell Faculty must have their program approved by their faculty advisor prior to registration. . If your account is Inactive, please contact a student advisor in your faculty office. New for 2007! Laboratory Fees The University of Manitoba has introduced a lab fee for all course sections that include a laboratory component. Three types of lab sections have been identified: . Wet/Bench Labs will be assessed a fee of $30.00 per term for sections that are 3 to 5 credit hours. . Dry Labs /Tutorials and Language Labs will be assessed a fee of $25.00 per term for sections that are 3 to 5 credit hours. Lab Fees are in the process of being set up on applicable course sections. If the fee is in place at the time of registration you will be assessed immediately. Please check your fee statement prior to the fee payment deadline for any Lab Fees that may have been assessed after you had registered. Note that Lab Fees are refundable only up to the Revision Deadline for the applicable term. You may view the Lab Fees attached to a specific course section in the Class Schedule - Detailed Class Information. To view Detailed Class Information in Class Schedule click on the Course Title- CRN- Section Number link. If a Lab Fee has been applied it will appear under the heading: Base Fees (other charges may apply) UMSU Health Dental Plan changes The University of Manitoba Students Union (UMSU) Health & Dental Plan is a group benefit approved by students in a referendum in 2002. Since that time, the university has supported the administration of the plan and continues to do so. All students taking 6 credit hours or more for the Fall Term (excluding Distance Education and Off Campus courses) are automatically enrolled in the plan. The plan fee is $226.55 per year (for 12 months of coverage), though students may add their family (spouse and dependants) for an additional fee of $343.85. Students who have suitable alternate coverage may apply to UMSU to opt out of the plan. Details of the plan and opt-out deadlines are available online, at the UMSU Health and Dental Office in 110 University Centre or by calling 204.474.6666. In an effort to provide information to the insurance provider that is both timely and accurate and to ensure that students have suitable coverage when needed, administration of the opt out process has been changed, effective Fall 2007. The plan premium must be paid to the university, regardless of whether or not you are planning to opt out. If your opt-out application is approved, you will be issued a refund of the Health and Dental Insurance fee directly from UMSU. Go to UMSU.ca for more information on UMSU Health and Dental Insurance and to access the opt-out application form (available in August). Note: Band sponsored students will initially be assessed the UMSU Health & Dental Fee. The fee will be removed from your student account before invoices are sent to Band sponsors. Credit Hours needed per term to be considered Full Time Undergraduates Full Time Status is determined on a per term basis. To be considered full time, most undergraduate students must be enroled in at least 60% of a full course load for the program in which they are registered. For example, in a program in which the normal full load for a Fall/Winter Session is 30 credit hours, full time status is based on 60% of a full term load of 15 credit hours. In this example a student would need to be registered in a minimum of 9 credit hours in a term to be considered full time for that term. As the course load varies between years within a program, faculties have determined a minimum number of credit hours required for each term applicable to all years for specific programs. If you are uncertain of the number of credit hours required to be full time in a term in your program, please consult a Student Advisor in your faculty. Graduate Students Note that, with the exception of students in programs in which fees are assessed on a per credit hour basis (MBA, MPA, Social Work by Dist Ed, Occasional, Pre-Masters), graduate level students are considered full time, unless approved by the department and the Faculty of Graduate Studies for part time study. Students in the programs noted above will be assessed as full time or part time by the rules used for undergraduate students described above (i.e based on registered credit hours.) Good Luck with registration. If you have questions regarding registration in your program please check with your faculty office. For an immediate response to a registration related question go to AskUManitoba.ca. Neil Marnoch Registrar, University of Manitoba
