WHO NEEDS THE CAUT DEFENCE FUND?
We believe that every faculty union needs the CAUT Defence Fund because of the invaluable support it offers when negotiating a new collective agreement. During the bargaining process, faculty unions make use of important and proven effective strategies such as the threat of strike action, the strike vote and the withdrawal of services. There are, however, occasions when all these methods fail and a strike or lockout is invoked. At such times, the CAUT Defence Fund is able to provide your faculty union with essential financial, political and psychological support.
