March 2011 - YUSA Creates New Fitness Initiative
We are so excited in the YUSA office that this fitness initiative has been such a huge success. We created this
program because we heard you tell us for years that you wanted to be able to have access to fitness facilities at your lunch hour and be able to connect with other community members.

YUSA has developed a new training initiative for 2011. It is
open to members who have “supervision” included in their
job descriptions and then we will offer it to the YusApuY
community at large. The first half of the day is called “How
to supervise in a Unionized Environment” and the second
half of the day is entitled “Occupational Health and Safety
Supervisor Training."

December 2010 - What a Year It's Been!
This year has been extremely productive as we have received many arbitration decisions, Labour Board results and successfully negotiated numerous grievance settlements. We have grown as a membership with the
inclusion of Research workers in our bargaining unit and we are in discussions with the employer to finalize the number of CPM positions that are now also included in our bargaining unit.

November 2010 - YUSA on H1N1 Communique
The employer has recently produced a campus wide communiqué with respect to H1N1 Pandemic Planning. The York University Staff Association was not consulted prior to this communiqué being sent out and it is my understanding that none of the unions on campus were consulted.

January 2012 - The Year of the Dragon
I believe this year is ultimately one of change for YUSAPUY members at the university. I’m hopeful we can continue to work towards the necessary reforms within our community to foster a positive work environment that inspires those that come to our campus to learn, teach and visit.

April 2012 - Getting Healthy for Spring
As we begin see this fine weather
throughout Ontario, people are outside
more frequently and being more active.
Like many folks, the winter months do not
inspire me to be very active and in turn, I
feel a little out of sorts.
So last week, I began a new journey. I
began to run again. I am starting slow, but
I thought that I would share this news with
all of you who are so dedicated in your health by
participating in the YUSA lunch hour fitness initiative.
You have all inspired me so much! Your dedication to the
program and your overall health is truly something to model.
I will continue to update you on my progress and in turn, I
hope you keep me accountable. I am very motivated, like so
many working mothers, to piece out a little time for myself 3
to 4 times per week and just get healthy.
In addition, I have given myself a goal to work towards. On
June 3, 2012, I am running a half marathon. This is very
scary to me, but I am going to do it. I cannot promise any
records will break (LOL!), but I am committed to completing
it. I will keep you posted and well done to all of you who are
taking care of yourselves by staying active!
In Solidarity,
Joanie Cameron Pritchett
