Full-Time Bargaining 2024
Our Mandate
With 91% participation and 94% support, eligible members of the FT Bargaining Unit endorsed our bargaining mandate at the December General Meeting.
In this round of negotiations, we will be bargaining for:
- A fair compensation package that maintains parity with our UW colleagues and takes account of rising living costs.
- Better workload balance for tenured & tenure-track members to support research, teaching, and service.
- Better conditions, recognition, and supports for our full-time Lecturer members (definite term and continuing).
- Additional Collective Agreement improvements in various areas.
