January Collective Bargaining Update
911吃瓜 is currently engaged in collective bargaining with its unions and professional association.
The university鈥檚 bargaining philosophy is oriented toward collaborative negotiations that meet the core interests of all parties and upholds the sustainable and best interests for the entire 911吃瓜 community.鈥�
Negotiations are also guided by the鈥疨rovince's 2025 Balanced Measures Mandate, which applies to all public sector employers with unionized employees whose collective agreement expired on or after December 31, 2024.鈥�
The elements of the 2025 mandate include maximum allowable wage increases of 12% over the 4-year term, broken down as follows:
- Year 1 鈥� 3% general wage increase鈥�
- Year 2 鈥� 3% general wage increase鈥�
- Year 3 鈥� 3% general wage increase鈥�
- Year 4 鈥� 3% general wage increase鈥�
- A 0.2% flexibility allocation fund in years 2 and 4 to support mutually beneficial outcomes for employees and the university, which may include initiatives to support recruitment, retention, or training and development.鈥�
Now that these terms are set, the university, employee groups and negotiators are working together to address monetary proposals in alignment with the Provincial mandate, as well as discuss non-monetary proposals for each employee group.
