Law 101

JACFA Executive 10
Whatever one’s political stripes, whatever one felt on election night, few among us want to see
Law 101 applied to the cegeps, with all of the negative consequences that would have on John
Abbott and all of the English-language cegeps.
Even with the Parti Québécois eking out a only a minority government, Pauline Marois is stilling
planning to go ahead with toughening Law 101 by tabling a new bill. Whether she will get the
support she needs to pass this legislation from the opposition parties remains to be seen.
Furthermore, it is unclear how this will affect John Abbott as we do not have clear information
on the number of our students who do have certificates of eligibility for English education.
What we do know for certain is that our collective agreement has strong job security clauses
for permanent teachers. While jobs would open in French cegeps, no one can be forced to
teach in a different language. If no jobs were available you would be considered MED (mis en
disponibilité) and would be paid at 80% of your salary until a job becomes available. While no
such rights exist for our non-permanent faculty, FNEEQ, our union federation, will continue to
defend its members’ jobs.
Politics aside, we have been busy with several other issues, most notably the new modular insurance plan. We have costs now, so take a peek, to begin thinking about your options. We also
have news about the Work-Family Balance Policy, our non-credit international students, online
evaluation of teaching, a report from our Sustainability Committee, and much more, so please
read on.

On our Paycheques…
It felt like a pay increase…
In fact, the August 30 pay marked our return to 26 pay periods for the 2012-2013 academic year.
Because the 365 ¼ day calendar does not divide evenly into 52 weeks, each year the first pay period moves one day earlier. Every ten years or so, this requires that we make an adjustment. As of
2005, our collective agreement has specified that this is to be done by splitting our annual salary
into 27 pay periods rather than the usual 26 for one year. 2011-2012 was our first experience of
this, and we are sure that all faculty are happy it’s over (for 10 years or so, anyway)!
We can expect another small adjustment to our paycheques sometime before the end of the calendar year. Our contract includes a clause (6-4.04) which calls for an increase of up to 0.5% in addition to the 1% we received in June if Québec’s nominal gross domestic product rises faster than the
government’s projection of 8.3% in 2010 and 2011. (GDP growth, while a controversial measure of
“development,” is a reliable indicator of increased government revenues, and hence, its capacity to
pay more to its employees.) We may have to wait until the official figures are available from Statistics Canada in November, but the preliminary figures indicate that we will receive the full 0.5%, retroactive to June 1. It ain’t much, but it’s better than nothing!
Work-Family Imbalance?
Administration Rejects Proposed Work-Family Balance Policy
As you may recall, at our May 16 General Assembly, we passed a motion which gave the JACFA
Executive the mandate to approach the administration about creating a Work-Family Balance
policy. The motion was based on a survey of our faculty and a subsequent report that recommended creating the possibility of a three-day teaching schedule for teachers returning from
parental leave or looking after seriously ill family members. The motion limited the three-day
schedule to a one-year period and passed with an overwhelming majority.
JACFA representatives met with Human Resources last June and were initially greeted with a
very positive response and a promise to take the proposal to the Directors Group. At the Directors Group, the idea was rejected because the administration is worried about setting the
precedent of a three-day teaching schedule instead of the standard four or five days. They also
noted that we already have articles in the collective agreement about family leaves and that departments control their scheduling. The JACFA Executive responded that teachers sometimes
end up with three-day schedules because of the vagaries of scheduling with such limited space.
There are probably more of these scheduling anomalies in any given semester than teachers
who would be eligible for a three-day schedule under the proposed Work-Family Balance Policy. In addition, we noted that the College is set to go ahead with an online teaching policy that
will have faculty teaching a part of their courses online. This will create three-day (or less)
teaching schedules as teachers will work from home for the online component because of busy
and cramped office conditions on campus.
The JACFA Executive will go ahead with the other recommendations in the report, which include revisiting access to campus daycare and raising awareness of the work-family balance
clauses that already exist in the collective agreement.

International Students
On August 29, the JACFA Executive met with the administration to discuss some concerns
faculty have raised with regards to international non-credit students (INCAs).
First of all, as the makeup of the international student body has changed in recent years (in
particular, fewer German students and more from Mexico), many teachers have complained about their students’ English language skills. We asked that the College administer
the Teaching of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) test (developed to ensure Englishlanguage proficiency for those wishing to study at American universities) to all incoming
international students to ensure that they have the language skills required to succeed. Diane McGee, the Director of Continuing Education and International Programs, expressed
some reservations about the TOEFL test, but promised to get back to us soon.
Second, we raised the issue of how INCA teaching resources are allocated, in particular
where they are enrolled in remedial courses with restricted enrolment and in disciplines where smaller numbers are registered.
The enrolment patterns have changed in recent years with the student body. It was agreed that the allocation for next semester
will be reviewed during the September Labour Relations Committee (CRT) meetings. Departments should prepare for this process
by reviewing enrolment numbers in their courses.
Third, we proposed creating an INCA Student Success committee to advise the College on issues regarding International Students.
We feel that part of the problem is a lack of clarity and productive dialogue on issues relating to international students, as well as
how different international projects are developed and prioritized. The administration reacted favourably to this idea, but wants to
consider what the status of such a committee might be (College committee, Academic Council committee, working group, etc.).
To be continued…
FONDACTION is the workers’ fund of the CSN. It contributes to maintaining and creating jobs in Quebec (60% of FONDACTION’s
funds must be invested in the province) and to developing small and medium sized companies in Quebec. It particularly supports
businesses that address environmental issues and sustainable development.
It is possible to contribute to FONDACTION’s RRSP via a lump sum or directly by payroll deductions here at John Abbott. Payroll
deductions have the advantage of an immediate tax reduction of approximately 80%.
Why 80%? Regular contributions to an RRSP usually come with a tax credit of just under 40% (depending on your tax bracket).
But FONDACTION’s RRSP receives an extra 25% from the provincial and 15% from the federal governments.
For example: Someone contributing $100 per pay ($2,600 annually) would have a pay deduction of $100 going to FONDACTION,
but their tax deductions would decrease by $45 for provincial tax and $33.37 for federal tax. This means that the pay cheque’s net
amount decreases only by $21.63. These numbers are based on an annual salary between $41,544 and $78,120.
More numbers: The value of shares is updated twice a year, in July and in January. The following table gives the recent progression of the share value:
January 2010
July 2010
January 2011
July 2011
January 2012
July 2012
$9.23
$9.11
$9.38
$9.57
$9.30
$9.34
Anyone wishing to make a lump sum contribution for the 2012 tax year may want to act quickly. There is a maximum of $175 million worth of shares that can be sold every year (the financial year for FONDACTION ends in May). At the rate contributions are
going, it might not be possible to make a lump sum contribution after mid-December. However, it will still be possible to sign up
for payroll deductions.
As with the purchase of any type of shares, some risks are involved. You can visit the FONDACTION website for more information. If you are interested in contributing to FONDACTION, contact Alex Panassenko at the JACFA office.
Evaluation of Teaching: Getting a QEC out of it
At John Abbott, as you all know, there is a teaching evaluation process. The many details of this process are to be found in policy #12: Concerning the evaluation of teaching and the assurance of quality education. The Quality Education Committee (QEC)
created by this policy, is a parity committee composed of six members (Daniel Gosselin, Richard Masters and Ute Beffert from
the JACFA Executive and the three Program Deans). Its mandate is to:

Advise the Academic Dean on the implementation, application and revision of policy #12.

Develop and approve all evaluation instruments.

Advise on the coordination of the various departments and services involved with issues of evaluation and professional
assistance.

Make recommendations on funding priorities to FPDC and the IDO.

Make recommendations on continuous improvement of the quality of education at the College.

Receive student input on policy #12.

Discuss issues arising from the implementation, application and revision of policy #12.
All new teachers are evaluated two or three times, and after that every faculty member’s teaching is formatively evaluated every
five years. As of now, all faculty (except for newly hired, of course) has gone through said process at least once. JACFA has not
heard of serious harm done linked to evaluation – no new teacher has lost his or her hiring priority based on an evaluation.
There have been administrative glitches, here and there, but nothing linked to teaching. The process was started in Winter
2008, thus the first ones evaluated should be evaluated again next semester.
A new addition that was tested in this year’s summer courses is an online administration of the evaluation. There is a substantial
cost to the College for transcribing the students’ handwritten comments. QEC met to discuss the subject formally, and from
what we have heard from faculty, all went smoothly. JACFA has made sure that this process was done within certain parametres, making sure the evaluation was done at one same time, during class hours, in the same place, either in the classroom or
a language or computer lab. We want the process to be with a certain decorum; not a homebrew, Rate-My-Teacher anyone can
do from home.
If this online evaluation is to be implemented, it would likely be in Winter 2013. Whether or not this is the case, we will bring it
to an upcoming General Assembly for approval.
At any case, all feedback regarding your experience of teaching evaluation, and even more so if online, is welcomed.
Young Blood
Are you under 31 years of age?
Notre avenir, un projet pour tous! is the CSN’s 5th Youth Rally which brings together young union members, like you,
from all across Québec. Its aim is to involve young(er) members in the broader union movement, to bring new blood into
our unions and stimulate the changing of the guard. It is a unique occasion to share experiences and ideas about union militancy, involvement, the current situation in Québec, etc.
The event will take place at L’Estrimont (check it out by clicking here!), in the beautiful Eastern Townships, from the evening of Tuesday November 6 until Thursday November 8, 2012.
The CSN will pay for lodging and food. Note: the activities will be in French.
Contact the JACFA Office if you are interested or for more information.

Faculty Professional Development
Do you have a professional development activity you would like to pursue?
Our collective agreement creates a fund ($195 per full-time teacher equivalent) administered by the Faculty Professional Development Committee which allows teachers to obtain up to $800 per year (in some cases, two-years of
funding can be combined) for approved activities. The faculty representatives are Jim Vanstone (HEPS) - chair,
Pierre Dussol (Theatre), Richard Masters (Mathematics), Alice McLeod (Mathematics), and John Serrati (HEPS).
To apply, complete the PD Application Form (available on the JAC Portal) and write a letter of intent for your activity. Send both and supporting documents to the Professional Development office in Human Resources, SH-122.
The application deadlines are as follows:
Availability to Students and Office Hours
Members of the JACFA Executive are often asked about what our obligations are as teachers with regards to being available to our students and office hours… Here goes!
In our collective agreement, within full-time teachers’ 32½ hours per week of availability to the College
(and part-timers in proportion to her/his workload), they are expected to fulfill all of the activities
“inherent to teaching” (defined in article 8-4.01 a). This includes “encadrement de ses étudiantes et étudiantes”, or support and supervision of their students.
In order to support students, each teacher must be available outside of class. But defined office hours
are just one way of accomplishing this task. While they may guarantee that teachers are physically in
their offices, they are useless for a student who has other classes scheduled at that time. Some departments have adopted office hour guidelines; others leave how availability is defined up to the individual teacher. Being available to
students is important, but just one part of our job. Office hours are one way of being available, but using voice mail, leaving message pads on the office door, e-mails/MIOs to students or making individual appointments are other good ways of providing flexible availability to students. According to the College’s Institutional Policy on the Evaluation of Student Achievement (IPESA), your
availability to your students must be posted on your course outline. You will not, however, find an obligation to do office hours
in either the IPESA or our collective agreement.
Can departments force a teacher to have office hours? The functions of a department and those of the department coordinator
are established in our collective agreement articles 4-1.05 and 4-1.10. Nowhere are they given the responsibility to define how
availability is to be accomplished by their department members. Of course, the guidelines informed by the years of lived experience of your fellow teachers should be taken very seriously, but departments cannot unilaterally impose working conditions beyond their areas of responsibility.

Sustainability Committee Update
The Sustainability Committee brings together representatives from administration,
faculty, staff and students who meet once a month to discuss sustainability issues
on our campus. Everyone is welcome to attend the meetings, join its community
on the Portal and take part in the events we organize on campus. You can be added to the committee’s e-mail distribution list by contacting its chair, Josée
Lanouette
Our members work with the JACtivists and Green Giants student clubs. We do a
lot of promotion and educational campaigns such as the “garbage mob,” a recycling
education activity during Waste Reduction Week in October. We also put together a fair to celebrate Earth Day. Last year this included booths about eco-feminine
products, the new complementary course Camping to Save the Planet, agricultural
Earth Day collection center in the Agora; join us refugees, information about sustainability resources at the library and how to crofor next year's edition.
chet sturdy carrying bags from old milk bags. A collection centre was set up for
pennies, plastic bags, eye glasses and cell phones. There was also a contest where
those who attended could vote for their favourite posters promoting recycling, created by PDHT students. The winning posters
will be reproduced and displayed as part of this year’s recycling campaigns.
It is an exciting time for campus sustainability at Abbott, as many initiatives are moving forward. Last year, John Abbott joined
the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE), a body whose mission is to enable colleges
and universities to model and advance sustainability in everything they do, from governance and operations to education and
research. Since joining the AASHE, John Abbott has been conducting a sustainability audit according to the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System (STARS). As part of their Environmental Studies courses, our students have begun collecting
data towards the production of the STARS report. This initial report will establish benchmark measurements that will be used
to set goals and track future improvements. Given the wide array of indicators that need to be collected, volunteers are needed
to assist these students. If you would like to take part in this project, contact Jessica Burpee, the coordinator of the Environmental Studies Certificate.
Jessica also produced a 5.2 release report in June on Sustainability in the Curriculum. The document provides a snapshot of JAC
sustainability in the classroom. The report also contains a wealth of resources such as sustainability videos, books and web links
which may help you prepare a classroom activity to coincide with David Suzuki’s visit to JAC on October 24.
Other projects to which we look forward include the planning of two campus gardens and the further improvement of our recycling and composting efforts at the College. If you would like to take part in these projects or put forth your own initiative, do
not hesitate to join the Sustainability Committee.

Health and Safety Report
Cough, Sputter, Sneeze!
Many faculty members have been affected by the move to the Health Sciences building as well
as the move to reassigned office and classroom spaces in the non-renovated part of the campus. What unites them all is the dust that has settled in all of these areas. Some people have
tried to wash and wipe areas clean. Some are suffering from the health effects from the dust.
Many are frustrated.
What to do?!
Well, one could wear a filter mask....or...fill out an Octopus request. Attaching a photo of the
area would also be of great benefit.
Once there is a record of the request, the areas can be scheduled for cleaning. If the results
are not satisfactory, then contact the JACFA Health and Safety representative. You can do
this by forwarding the request number as well as any photos to jacfa@johnabbott.qc.ca or to
Ute Beffert.
Friendly Reminder
As it is the beginning of the semester it seems fitting to start off with a
reminder that Health and Safety issues affect us all and are, according to
the CSST and MELS, expected to be integrated into the education of our
college-level students. We all must be aware of and follow basic principles
of safety. Please familiarize yourself with the evacuation routes from your
teaching and office areas and make a point of letting your students know
these routes as well.
Double Standard
All classrooms in the Health Sciences building lock and some even have two access or
exit doors. So can we have this in the non-renovated areas of the college as well? Sounds
like that would be the right thing to do. The JACFA Executive is working on this issue as
the renovation plan is supposed to be a work in progress and open to modification.
Health and Safety Committee Meetings
Good news. The schedule of meetings is already booked in advance this year. Take note of
these dates. The Committee will be meeting every month this semester:
- September 17
- November 20
- October 15
- December 3
If you have any issues regarding health and safety, please remember to fill out the appropriate referral form in Octopus. If they are not resolved, contact JACFA.

FNEEQ Modular Insurance
Decisions, Decisions
By now everyone should be aware that FNEEQ has adopted a new modular insurance plan. The new plan takes effect as of January
1, 2013. Everyone needs to take a good look at the documentation that will be provided and to choose their modules. How this
will proceed is outlined in this article. For more information on the modules, click here.
The decision timeline will be as follows:
October 11, 2012: another meeting of the FNEEQ insurance representatives (Ute Beffert for JACFA) with the FNEEQ Insurance committee to finalize information transfer regarding the new modular plan.
Mailing date from La Capitale: On October 17, 2012 you will be mailed to your home address on file with La Capitale
an information package. Please check your mailbox a few days later.
In this package, La Capitale will automatically check the boxes that correspond to the insurance you presently have with them. You
may change this and add or decrease coverage.
If you know of any new non permanent teachers in your department that are insured through La Capitale, please pass the word
that they must come to the JACFA office to receive their information. La Capitale will not have them on their list for mailings.
There will be time for you to read the information and to ask questions in the JACFA office P-105. But this time is limited to a two
week period.
Decision-making time:
Between October 22 and November 2, 2012 you must decide which module(s) to take, (if any) and transmit your decision to
Human Resources. A more detailed outline of how to proceed will be circulated by October 22.
Rest assured that the JACFA Executive will be sending out reminders throughout this process so that everyone can make an informed and timely decision.
Costs:
The information received on costs is rounded to the nearest dollar.
There is a general increase of 5.5% that would have been incorporated into the cost even had we stayed with the present policy.
To this we must now add the changes in cost due to the modular plan adjustments.
The following table roughly represents the costs to be expected with the new plan: (9% tax to be added to all figures)

Law
101
and
Anglo
cegeps
9
Most of us have heard about the Parti québécois (PQ) position regarding applying Law 101 to the cegeps. Now that they are the government, should we be worried? What is our union doing about it?
Very brief history :
This idea has been in the air for a long time, but was officially added to the PQ party platform in April
2011 (almost unanimously). Their goal is to fight the so-called “growing anglicization” of Montréal.
After the recent elections were called, the PQ confirmed that if a PQ government was elected, they
would extend Law 101 to the cegeps. Although they did not win a majority of the seats in the National Assembly, Pauline Marois has said she still wants to go ahead with this proposal within the first
100 days her new government is in power.
What does it mean?
Right now any individual can apply to any cegep. Extending Law 101 means only those with an eligibility certificate would be able to register in an English-language cegep. It means that some students
(usually referred to as francophones and allophones in the media) will not be able to get into English
cegeps anymore. A student can obtain an eligibility certificate if at least one parents’ education was
in a Canadian English-language school.
Will it happen?
Some think that the PQ government will carry this out. Others think that this policy would be quite
difficult to apply. Some cegeps would almost have no students left (e.g. Champlain St.-Lawrence).
Also, many francophones parents put pressure on their children to learn English, including encouraging them go to an anglo cegep (among other measures). PQ members themselves are divided on the
subject.
Who would it affect?
According to MELS, in 2010 47% of allophone (down from 58% in 2001) and 5.8% of francophone
students chose to go an English cegep. Numbers are tricky -- we don’t know how many of our JAC
students have (or could have) English eligibility certificates. Some of the loss of students could also be
compensated by admitting more anglophone students.
Would I lose my job?
We do have some protection against this in our collective agreement. A teacher with tenure
(permanence) who lost enough sections to be laid off would become mis en disponibilité (MED); they
would be guaranteed 80% of their salary and could be transferred to another cegep in our zone (the
greater Montreal region), taking their seniority/priority with them. As for non-permanent teachers,
FNEEQ would try to negotiate to apply the same rules as when a program is closed (two years’ salary to help find a similar job in another cegep or to recycle in another program where there are posts
available).
Also note that students unable to attend anglo cegeps would not just disappear; they would most
likely end-up in francophone cegeps, creating posts for those who could teach in a francophone cegep. Teachers cannot, however, be forced to move to a job in a francophone cegep.
Conclusion
We will have to wait and see if this position really goes through. FNEEQ has been active on this issue
behind the scenes, and will continue to lobby against any such measures that result in their members
losing jobs. We’ll keep you posted.

Meet JACFA’s Newest Executive Members!
Richard Masters Math Department
After completing the first
year of my Masters degree at
Concordia, I was asked by a
friend to apply for a job in a
local high school to teach
senior math, chemistry and
science. Naturally, my first
response was “No way! Not
me! I don’t want to get eaten
alive!” Needless to say, I did
the unthinkable; you guessed
it -- I applied!
What was supposed to be only one year of good will turned
into a dozen. That’s right, twelve very awesome and memorable years contributing to the local community and making
a difference.
During that time, I sat on several production teams responsible for creating and validating provincial and board exams.
I also trained student teachers, coached sports and sat as a
union representative.
With the passing of time, I felt a need to enter a new forum
where I could learn, grow and continue to make a difference. As of three years ago, that new forum has been the
Mathematics Department of John Abbott College and as of
now the JACFA executive, where the best is yet to come!
Julien Charest
HEPS Department
I’m fairly new to John Abbott (I’ve
only been teaching here since winter 2011), but what I’ve seen so far
has convinced me that this is a great
school, as well as an enjoyable work
environment. This is what convinced me to get involved and join
the union Executive, although Jim
Leeke twisting my arm
(metaphorically) probably had something to do with it also.
I completed my bachelor’s degree in Asian Studies at Université de Montréal in 2001, and then taught English in northern
Japan for a year. After my M.A. in History at McGill, I worked
a number of odd jobs to put food on the table (as well as to
pay back my student loans). Finally, in 2010 I decided to risk a
stable job and accept a short contract at Cegep de Lanaudière
at Joliette, and I haven’t looked back since.
I’ve never really been involved in labor relations or politics
before, but this only makes my determination to learn stronger. Also, as a non-permanent teacher, I am keen to defend the
rights of all the “newbies” like me at John Abbott.
