Solidarity by Association: The Unionization of Faculty, Academic Librarians and Support Staff at Carleton University (1973-1976) Transcript [Vickers]
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Vickers speaks about her involvement in the certification of the Carleton University Academic Staff Association (CUASA) in the mid 1970s. She was the CUASA president from 1974 to 1975 and one of the leaders of the drive to create a union for faculty at Carleton. She describes the events leading up to the decision to certify and the challenges faced in overcoming opposition to unionization by academic staff who did not believe that unions were appropriate for them, as white-collar workers. She describes the context in which this significant shift in occupational status took place, including the gendered the nature of the university workplace. In particular, she talks about working conditions for female staff on campus—for faculty, librarians and support staff. Uncorrected transcript (approximately 16 p.) from the original audio tape.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
