1989: Sessional lecturers' union certified
CUPE 3287, the University of Saskatchewan Sessional Lecturers' Union, arose in the mid 1980s in response to the expansion of part time teaching at the University of Saskatchewan and the failure to include sessional lecturers in the Faculty Association. In 1983, the Canadian Union of Public Employees and the University of Saskatchewan Faculty Association struck an agreement to organize separately part time academic employees, with teaching assistants to CUPE and sessional lecturers to the Faculty Association. Both organizing drives failed. In the case of the sessional lecturers, an independent organizing committee was established in 1986, an organizing drive was conducted in the winter of 1987-1988, and a certification order was issued in 1989. Negotiations for an agreement began and a first contract was signed in August 1991.
