What I Need to Know About the WMG

WMG is part of the Collective Agreement – agreed to by both the union and College. It isn’t unreasonable there may be disagreements between faculty and managers from time to time. When they can’t resolve those disagreements, the WMG (with members from both the union and College) take the decision out of the hands of faculty and managers and come to an agreement on their behalf.

WMG meetings are professional and collegial. It is not adversarial – it’s just business. It helps dissolve tensions around lack of agreement.

Union stewards can meet with you ahead of time—often more than once—and support you in preparing for WMG. It’s a bit of work to prep., but we find that most faculty can pull together things like samples of assessments and LPs that substantiate their requests for things like higher evaluation factors. And while it works well if you attend your WMG in person, if you really can’t face the prospect of attending yourself, then we can attend on your behalf.
