Decent and Stable Work Task Force May 2021 Report to the Membership
The 2021 Membership Survey closed May 14, 2021, 11:59pm with a response rate of 40%. Thank you to YUSA Members who participated in this process. As previously outlined, the specific objectives of the survey included:
• Collecting demographic data about our membership – the union does not have this information,
• Understanding some of the challenges our members experience, including issues related to decent and stable work and issues arising from the ongoing pandemic, and
• Understanding our members’ experiences with the union and barriers to inclusion.
What is Decent and Stable Work?
• Opportunities for everyone
• Fair income
• Security in the workplace
• Prospects for professional development
