Hello, I trust you are all doing well. Please note that the Anti-Racism training is required to be complete for ALL sessional instructors who taught within the 2025 year. Notes from Staff Relations: 1. Employees under CUPE Unit #2 with an active appointment between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025, who complete the Mandatory Anti-Racism Training on or before December 31, 2025 as part of their CUPE appointment with the University, will be paid three (3) hours for the training. 2. If the Employee has one or more hourly-rate appointments under the CUPE Unit #2 Agreement, the payment will be made at the highest hourly rate for which they had an active appointment at the time of the training, in accordance with Clause 17 of the CUPE Unit #2 Agreement. 3. If the Employee has a stipend-rate appointment or a distance and online course appointment under CUPE Unit #2, the payment will be made at the hourly rate applicable at the date of the training in accordance with Clause 17.3 of the CUPE Unit #2 Collective Agreement (work in addition). 4. If the Employee has a CUPE Unit #2 appointment in addition to appointments that fall within other unions or exempt groups, the training should be completed under that position and they will not be eligible for the additional payment through their CUPE appointment(s). 5. This agreement is made on a without prejudice and without precedent basis and applies to Mandatory Anti-Racism Training taken between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025 only.
