Dear Members ,
About 24 hours ago WLUFA began receiving reports from our Members that the Administration had initiated a round of layoffs across the University. I was “officially” informed of this through a telephone call from Human Resources late yesterday afternoon. I note now, too, the President has posted a release to the university community detailing these events: http://www.legacy.wlu.ca/news_detail.php?grp_id=0&nws_id=13818 .
It is with shock, dismay and deep sadness that we have learned of this loss of our valued colleagues. I will be communicating with the Presidents of the affected unions to see what support we can provide. Your Executive will also be discussing this issue on Thursday at our meeting and will inform you about any developments that arise from that.
In solidarity and sadness,
Rob Kristofferson
