E4 - CAAT Tales: The Holiday Show (With Grievances)

🎧 Festivities, Faculty, and a Few Grievances  This holiday special brings together warm wishes from stewards, a thoughtful chat on inclusivity, and a playful airing of grievances (Seinfeld-style). We celebrate retiring steward Dan Somers, shine a light on Bill 33’s impact on post-secondary education, and wrap it all in union spirit. Tune in for cheer, reflection, and a call to action—because faculty voices matter all year long.And for those who love a good cameo - OPSEU/SEFPO President JP Hornick's voice is featured!01:29 Holiday wishes from the Local 417 Executive Committee03:38 Tips on being inclusive over the holiday break with Ekta Singh14:03 Airing of Grievances with Gillian Axten22:50 Feature interview - Dan Somer's final Motion to Adjourn from the LEC & Retirement from SLC·       43:04 The Importance of Grievances and Collective Agreements·       44:41 Navigating Investigations: Strategies for Support·       46:18 Career Highlights and Future Aspirations·       47:24 The Evolution of Union Representation·       49:42 Closing Thoughts and Reflections on Retirement52:18 What we need to know about Bill 3354:39 Gripe or grievance: Understanding Professional Development Leave DenialsMusic clearance: NPXY0YQVYZIJHMOWVoice of Frank Costanza (played by the late Jerry Stiller): Seinfeld ep. 166 "The Strike" 18 December 1997
