UVic, Trent reach tentative contract agreement with associations

Two institutions have recently reached tentative contract agreements with faculty or staff associations. The University of Victoria and University of Victoria Faculty Association members have reached a tentative agreement under the province’s Shared Recovery Mandate. The tentative agreement covers almost 1,000 faculty members and librarians. “We’re pleased that after 10 months of pretty intense bargaining we have a tentative agreement that we’re pleased to take to our members,” said UVFA President Lynne Marks. In Ontario, Trent University and OPSEU Local 365 – which represents over 450 support staff at the institution – have reached a tentative settlement on their new collective agreement. At both institutions, the details of the agreements will be shared after ratification.
