“Am I an AMUSE member?”
& more FAQs
Am I an AMUSE member?
Per Unit A’s most recent collective agreement, the casual positions included in AMUSE can be found here.
Some common job titles in Unit A include:
Animal Care Attendant A, B, and C
Communications Assistant A, B, and C
Lifeguard
Phonathon Caller
Standardized Patient
Unit B includes Floor Fellows, who live in McGill residences and provide support to students living in residence. All Floor Fellows are AMUSE members. For information about AMUSE and Floor Fellows, contact floorfellows@amusepsac.org
Article 19.02 of our CA states that when staff are hired into an AMUSE role, they should receive union membership forms with the rest of your hiring paperwork. However, this doesn’t always happen. If you don’t receive this info, you should fill out the union membership form.
My job is covered by the Union A Collective Agreement, but I haven’t heard anything about being a part of AMUSE. Am I still an AMUSE member?
Yes, once you sign and submit the union membership form! While McGill is obligated to provide our union membership form to new hires in AMUSE roles, this doesn’t always happen. Even if this is the case, you’re a union member in good standing and have access to support and resources from AMUSE as soon as you sign the union membership form.
How can I get involved with AMUSE?

If you want to be a part of AMUSE’s work but aren’t sure how, feel free to email communications@amusepsac.org! It’s your union and we want you involved!
