College Faculty bargaining update: Progress & security aren’t possible while concessions remain
Highlights
Over December 6 – 8, we entered non-binding mediation with the College Employer Council (CEC).
While mediation has now ended, the parties have agreed to meet again in non-binding mediation on January 6-7, 2025. At this point in time, we have allowed the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) regarding no-escalation to expire.
While we encourage the CEC to engage productively in January, encouragements have not moved concessions off the table. If we want different results, we need to take a different approach.
We’ve always had to fight to make the changes we need for our colleagues and ourselves. It’s no different now – we need to be prepared to fight on all fronts against cuts, concessions, and the austerity sweeping several colleges.
We are carefully reviewing our options to determine all available paths forward to securing a new collective agreement that reflects members’ priorities: no concessions, better wages, improved working conditions, and enhanced job security.
