We would like to welcome Maija Duncan as our new Assistant Staff Representative! This is a new staff position that was negotiated during the last round of bargaining between our Local and our Local 1281 staff members. Maija will begin on May 18th. Thank you to the Hiring Committee for their work navigating hiring in the midst of a pandemic.
Maija comes to the position with a great deal of experience within labour activism. Within the 3903 context, she has served on the Executive Committee as Communications Officer and Chairperson, wherein she has been directly involved in bargaining and spearheaded numerous communications initiatives, campaigns, grievances, campus-wide activism, membership training and mobilization. The Hiring Committee was particularly impressed with Maija’s detailed insights and sensitivities to the challenges faced by our membership, the Local, and the greater York community.
