The university and the employee groups represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Locals 229, 254 and 1302 are scheduled to meet on February 11 & 12, 2019 to continue to negotiate with the assistance of a government appointed Conciliation Officer.
The university is focused on reaching negotiated agreements with all employee groups that both balance the university’s need to preserve its core academic mission and respect the limitations dictated by current financial realities.
The university values the contributions of its many employees and remains committed to the collective bargaining process.
