The Board of Governors has ratified a two-year collective agreement with the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE Local 2692) for the period July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2011.
The union represents 275 hospitality services staff, including 69 regular full-time members and 206 eight-month sessional members. The agreement includes a basic salary adjustment of 1.5 per cent in each year of the contract.
“Negotiations took place over four days, with a tentative agreement being reached in a timely and collegial manner,” says Jane O’Brien Associate Vice-President (Human Resources).
President of CUPE Local 2692, Bob Graham, adds: “My negotiating team is pleased with the agreement we reached with the University, and 90 per cent of our members voted in favour of this new contract.”
