Advocating for Academic Excellence
The Faculty Association of the University of St. Thomas promotes the welfare and professional interests of our members.
What FAUST Does
FAUST respectfully acknowledges that the land on which we gather is the unceded traditional territory of the Wolastoqiyik and Mi’kmaq, whose ancestors along with the Peskotomuhkatiyik signed Peace and Friendship Treaties with the British Crown in the 1700s.
FAUST is a certified trade union under the Industrial Relations Act of New Brunswick, with two bargaining units serving Full-time and Part-time faculty since 1976.
What do we do? We engage in protection, negotiation, and solidarity!
Protection
FAUST protects faculty rights. As a Union, the association has "carriage rights,” which means that it alone is legally able to carry a grievance on behalf of a faculty member against the university administration
01
Negotiation
FAUST is the sole collective bargaining agent for its members. We negotiate to ensure fair working conditions, academic freedom, and other benefits that foster quality teaching and research..
02
Solidarity
FAUST is an affiliate of the Canadian Association of University Teachers, the Federation of New Brunswick Faculty Associations, the United Campus Labour Council, the Fredericton & District Labour Council, and the New Brunswick Federation of Labour
