TFs perform the same work as sessional adjuncts but earn lower pay. What can a Union do about this inequity?
TFs should be paid at minimum the same as sessional adjuncts for performing the same work and this demand can be tabled during negotiations with Queen’s university. In addition non-monetary gains that sessional adjuncts have obtained through the QUFA collective agreement should also be extended to TFs such as academic freedoms, protection of intellectual property, grievance and arbitration procedures, protection from harassment (students and colleagues), and privacy protection – just some of the clauses in the QUFA collective agreement that were achieved at no financial cost.
