First, we represent unions of academic staff members at universities and colleges in three provinces. We handle union issues first and foremost. However, we also take a position on certain subjects, and we do lobbying, for example, on the chronic under-funding of universities and sharply rising tuition fees as a result of university under-funding. We don't intervene locally if two universities are competing over student recruitment.
