Several unions and associations have reached agreements with postsecondary institutions across the country. In Alberta, AUPE reports that the agreements between Athabasca University, Olds College, and SAIT and their respective AUPE locals have been officially ratified. Each of these agreements included retroactive pay raises, and the agreements at Athabasca and SAIT each included improvements to benefits and personal days. Brock University and the Brock University Faculty Association have reached a tentative renewal of the collective agreement. Meanwhile, at the University of Toronto, an arbitrator has ruled that faculty members represented by the University of Toronto Faculty Association will receive 3% raise, increases for hearing and eye care coverage, and increases to the university childcare benefit plan, effective July 1.
