Welcome to the STM Faculty Union Web Site!

Who are we?

The St. Thomas More College Faculty Union was certified on May 2, 1977. We represent all teaching faculty and librarians at St. Thomas More College of Saskatoon Saskatchewan.

Why do we maintain this web site?

Our primary goal is to provide useful information to our members. Thus one will find here information about our executive and committees, our constitution, our collective agreement, recent announcements, frequently asked questions and even some relevant links to other web sites. Secondly, this same information may be useful to other groups in the labour movement and to individuals of healthy curiosity anywhere.

What are our goals?

• To regulate relations between the College and the Union and any person eligible for membership in the Union.
• To bargain collectively on behalf of its members with the Board of Governors of St. Thomas More College.
• To promote the interests and well being of persons employed by St. Thomas More College and to establish and maintain the best possible standards of remuneration and working conditions consistent with the continuation of high academic standards.
• To promote an atmosphere of sound learning in which its members are all encouraged to reason well in all matters, to reach out towards truth, and to grasp it.
• To co-operate with other bodies whose interest may be similar, in particular with national and international associations of university and college professors and lecturers and of research workers.
• In association with other faculty associations or unions to improve the services provided by the academic profession and to advance the scientific, educational, professional and economic welfare of all members of the academic profession.
• To settle all disputes which may arise with employers or organizations of employers by negotiation.
• To do all such other things as are necessary or incidental or condusive to the objects of the Union.

Take Note!

New! Negotiations for a one year extension of the current contract have been concluded successfully. A special meeting of the STMFU will be held on June 18th at 9:00 a.m. in STM 450 to ratify the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) spelling out the details of this extension. This MOA is available on our announcements page.

The STM Faculty Union is aware that the Administration is posting "Bargaining Updates" on the STM website. Members of the Union should be aware that the information posted by Administration reflects the Administration’s perspective on the negotiations only. In particular, the "update" dated May 13 does not reflect any item currently under negotiation, and the Union is not in agreement with the plan to reduce Continuing Sessional Faculty positions to "zero" by 2013.  The STMFU Negotiating Committee will continue to circulate weekly updates to the membership.
