DOUGLAS COLLEGE LIBRARY

ARCHIVES

1. A union association is for instructional faculty,
‘ librarians, counsellors, project leaders, programmers,
co-ordinators and convenors or anyone else below
the department chairman level of administration.

2. Any of the above who have administrative duties
must ve elected to their positions by their peers.

3. Chairmen,directors,deans,principal and bursar,
and any other administrative appointee must be
outside the union.

4. All teaching faculty and others of,.the bargaining
unit must be selected for first appointment by
those full-time faculty currently employed by
the college.

De Faculty of the bargaining unit must have part-
icipation in selection of,at leasty;their immed-
iate supervisior(i.e. the department chairman
and/or director.)

I urge you to support any person or group who adopts
those points 2s a base or who has them incorporated
in their platform. ‘those principles would,I think
appeal to most unionists;at the same time their
implementation would forestall having agoup of
administrators superimposed on the existing scheme
if we were to go the route of electing people to
those positions.

The Association in the uncoming year will need some
strong memoers on the executive,people who are both
knowledgea le in college governance and who can
spare a few hours each week to accomplish the work
that must be done. It ulso needs members—at—large
who will attend meetings,speak their minds and
supoort their executive in the crunch.

Please start looking NOW for good candidates. Have
them take a stand and declare it. Maybe,to achieve
needed co-operition and unity of purpose on the

executive,slates of people should run for office?

This election should place people in the following
offices: 1. President 2. Vice-president( who is
chairman of the Welfare Committee) 3. Treasuer
4. Secretary 5. CFF Director(eligible for CFF
presidency) 6. Ombudsman 7. Jepartment eps.

Please consider the importance of these offices,
especially now,when the faculty is takings some
charge of its own affairs through collective bar-
gaining. Thank you for takine time to red this.
