Ratification Vote Update

We are very pleased to announce the results of the ratification vote for our Collective Agreement.

I would like to thank our members for your ongoing and active support over this lengthy process.  Thanks again to our excellent and hard working negotiating team, Vera Caine, Nursing, Moustapha Fall, SLLC, Travis Martin, Physics and Astronomy, Michelle Miranda, Math and Stats, Jane Morrison, Libraries, Christine O’Bonsawin, History, Bruce Ravelli, Sociology, and Caterina Valeo, Mechanical Engineering, to our exceptional staff, Nathan Todd, Ben Johnson, Amal Vincent, Elise Cote, Sabrina Chang and Faye Lee, and to the members of the Membership Engagement Committee, especially co-chairs Tim Hopper and Amy Verdun.

It is our understanding that the Board of Governors will be voting on ratification sometime this week.  Once they have voted to ratify, we will have a fully ratified agreement.  We will be providing further information soon about when salary increases, including retroactive pay, will be implemented.  We are also working with the admin to clarify when various elements of the Agreement will come into force, and will let you know as soon as possible.

All the very best,

Lynne
