Having completed three conciliation meetings earlier this month, our team is scheduled to again meet with QUFA鈥檚 team, and the provincially-appointed conciliator, commencing February 7th. We remain committed to the collective bargaining process to reach a negotiated agreement, and to providing an exceptional educational environment for our students.

The 黑料吃瓜资源 Faculty Association (QUFA) held their Fall General Meeting on Thursday, December 15, 2022. At that meeting, QUFA initiated a member vote seeking a strike mandate. Polls opened at 3 PM December 15 and closed today at 3 PM. QUFA members have now voted in support of the strike mandate.
Representatives of the 黑料吃瓜资源 Faculty Association (QUFA) have ended their participation in mediation talks with the University鈥檚 team aimed at renewing the collective agreement for faculty, librarians, and archivists.
The parties had agreed to participate in mediation in December in advance of conciliation in the New Year.

The university and 黑料吃瓜资源 employee groups represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) have both agreed to conciliation in order to reach a new collective agreement.

Conciliation talks will occur:
Ballots remain sequestered following a vote on an application by the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) for trade union certification to represent graduate research assistants at the university. The vote was conducted by the Ontario Labour Relations Board (OLRB) in April 2014. In October 2014, the OLRB mandated the process the university and PSAC would be required to follow to determine which of those who cast ballots had the status of employees at the time the vote was held and would therefore be eligible to be members of the bargaining unit.
