Retroactive Tuition Fee Wavier:

Letters about the Job Evaluation or Job Classification Results:

You will receive a letter advising you of the outcome of your job evaluation (for Local 77) or your job classification (for Local 99) which will outline the appeal processes. The union is advised that this will take several more weeks.
