NSCAD, FUNSCAD sign collective agreements, Camosun support staff agreement ratified

NSCAD University and Camosun College have both announced progress on their respective collective agreements. NSCAD and Unit I and II of the Faculty Union of NSCAD (FUNSCAD) recently signed new collective agreements. FUNSCAD represents full- and part-time faculty and technicians working at the university. FUNSCAD President Darrell Varga said that the union is “proud of this new collective agreement and looks forward to working with President Shannon as NSCAD faces exciting new challenges in art-making and art education.” At Camosun College, the tentative agreement with the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 2081 – which represents 700 support staff at the college – was ratified by the Post-Secondary Employer’s Association (PSEA) board of directors.
