Component 1 (UBC Student Workers)

Leadership Committee 

UBC Student Workers Leadership Committee


Your Collective Agreement with UBC is renewed periodically. These negotiations are conducted by a committee from the following student worker groups that make up Component I: Teaching Assistants, Graduate Academic Assistants, Tutors, Markers, Exam Invigilators at UBC’s Centre for Accessibility. This committee is elected at a membership meeting, typically several months before negotiations begin.

To put an issue in front of the committee, or - better yet - to get involved, contact the Component 1 Chair: comp1chair@cupe2278.ca

The current Chair is Jessica Wolf.
