If you provide a support staff function at the University of Alberta,
you work in a unionized environment.
NASA is the union which negotiates the terms and conditions of your
employment. We also provide you with advice and assistance if you experience any
difficulties in your work environment. This assistance includes giving advice and
resolving issues regarding your rights under the contract, health and safety issues, WCB
difficulties, benefit needs, etc.
In your workplace are NASA members who are Workplace Reps (commonly
called Union stewards). These individuals are your direct access to advice and
representation when you need it. NASA also has qualified labour relations staff who are
available to you by phone or e-mail.
As a support staff employee, you will be paying dues to NASA. Membership
and its privileges, however, are not automatic. You can become a member by completing a
membership application form and sending it to the NASA office. These forms are available
from the Workplace Rep in your area, or the office. Your Workplace Rep or the office staff
can assist you in learning more about NASA and how you can become an active member.
We encourage all support staff to become active in NASA. General
meetings are held regularly in order to encourage and take direction from its members.
Meeting notices are sent to you directly, or posted on the NASA bulletin boards in your
workplace. NASA is a membership-driven organization which is only as good as the
participation of its members.
