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. Additional information will be posted on the University's website as it becomes available. Deborah J. McCallum Vice-President (Administration) Debbie_McCallum(a)umanitoba.ca Phone: 204-474-9777 FAX: 204-261-1318
