Federation of Post-Secondary Educators (FPSE) Standing Committees meet at least twice a year in Vancouver, normally in the fall and spring. Here are last fall's committee reports from our LFA reps.
Report by Stephen Phillips
The 49th AGM and Convention of the Federation of Post-Secondary Educators of BC (FPSE) was held last May at Kelowna, on the unceded territory of the Syilx People of the Okanagan Nation. It was attended by delegates representing the Federation’s 19 affiliated college and university faculty associations, including the LFA. The meeting’s theme - Solidarity in Action: Together for a Better Future - was a reminder of the continuing importance to faculty of collective action, especially as 2019-20 is a bargaining year for member locals.
LFA Burger & Bevvy BBQ will be on Thursday May 23rd @ 4:30 at the Langara Golf Club. Come and connect with other faculty @ Langara Golf Course -- rain or shine. A $10 ticket gets you a beverage (beer, wine or non-alcoholic), salad and a burger (beef, veg, chicken) with all the fixings. Due to space limitations, attendance is limited to 70 and if you are interested in attending, please email info@langarafaculty.ca to find out how to register.
