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.

 

HR has developed a mechanism to run a report through our central Human Resources office to determine when an employee has taken the training.  With this report, central human resources will apply payment according to a set rate, based upon the above parameters, which have been confirmed by an agreement with CUPE 3909 Unit 2.

 

 

Thank you,

I acknowledge the University of Manitoba campuses are located on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Ininew, Anisininew, Dakota Oyate, Dene and Inuit, and on the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. I respect the treaties that were made on these territories and believe everyone deserves a life of health, dignity, kindness, and joy. In the spirit and intent of the treaties, I promise to listen and learn, in harmony with and respect for each other and the land. I dedicate myself to move forward in partnership with First Nations, Métis, and Inuit in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
