Inter-Union Open Letter in Support of MUNACA

(the McGill University Non-Academic Certified Association)

Protesters standing outside university building wearing orange rain ponchos and face masks, holding signs criticizing McGill University and supporting workers' rights, with a large sign in the foreground emphasizing that McGill campus would not exist without McGill workers.

AMUSE, AGSEM, AMURE, MCLIU and the six unions in the Confederation of Faculty Associations at McGill (COFAM) have signed an open letter in support of some of MUNACA’s demands.

These include:

  • A moratorium on layoffs, a real cut to executive pay, and a freeze on new executive hires.

  • Full public disclosure of the NOUS Group / UniForum engagements.

  • A cross-union seat at the tables on Horizon McGill (NOUS Group) implementation.
