As mentioned last week, AUFA has indicated to AU that it is ready to move forward with collective bargaining. Should bargaining reach impasse, one of the ways impasse can be resolved is through a strike by AUFA or by AU locking AUFA members out. For more information on work stoppages, please check out our FAQ.
AUFA’s Job Action Committee (JAC) has begun preparations in case bargaining leads to a strike or a lockout. During a strike or a lockout, it is likely that AUFA will lose access to AU’s IT systems. This would hamper AUFA’s ability to communicate with you, hold meetings, and conduct votes.
In order to contact you during a work stoppage, AUFA requires a non-AU email and telephone number. In 2019, JAC collected this data for >90% of AUFA members.
If you are:
A new AUFA member since May 2020,
An AUFA member whose contact information has changed since May 2020, or
An AUFA member who previously did not provide non-AU contact information,
please provide this information in the form below by February 1.
Your non-AU phone and email will be held in a password-protected database in the AUFA office. Access is restricted to AUFA staff and the executive and will only be used in relation to a work stoppage.
