Okanagan responds to union accusation of not following collective bargaining agreement

Okanagan College has responded to recent allegations from the Okanagan College Faculty Association (OCFA) about its response to the budget shortfall. According to Castanet, OCFA President Sharon Mansiere told union members that the layoff strategy proposed by the college for some union members falls outside of the collective bargaining agreement. Mansiere said the “plan change has been withheld from the union to this point.” Okanagan VP of Enrolment and College Relations Jenn Goodwin told Castanet that the allegations are false and that Okanagan “is committed to following the processes laid out in legislation, our collective agreements, and institutional policies.”
