SUMMARY:QUFA Bargaining Consultation and Staff Bargaining Update (Virtual) Town Hall Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Dear QUFA Members\, \nAs you likely know\, the collective agreement between QUFA and Queen’s University expires on 30 June 2025. In preparation for bargaining a renewal agreement\, QUFA’s Bargaining Team would like to hear from QUFA Members about their priorities for this round of bargaining. Please join us for a virtual town hall style meeting on Thursday 30 January from 9:00am-10:30am. The meeting will begin with a brief overview of recent activities by the Bargaining Team\, and then the virtual floor will be open for you to share your thoughts on what is working\, what isn’t working\, and how you think it ought to be fixed. \nYou also likely know that many of the campus staff unions are currently at their respective bargaining tables. In the case of the five CUPE locals\, the Ontario Ministry of Labour issued No Board Reports recently setting of a 17-day cooling off period and setting the stage for a possible strike or lock-out as early as midnight on 3 February. This does not mean that a strike or lock-out will happen\, only that it could. The parties are continuing to meet to try renewal agreements. If they have not already reached an agreement by 30 January\, representatives from the CUPE locals will be on hand at the QUFA Town Hall to provide an update and to share with QUFA Members how we can best support them in their efforts to negotiate a fair agreement. We will also discuss Article 12 – Strikes and Lockouts of the QUFA – Queen’s collective agreement so that you know what your rights and responsibilities are in the event of CUPE job action. \nPlease mark your calendars and plan to attend the Town Hall meeting starting at 9:00am on Thursday 30 January. RSVP to Elizabeth Polnicky at ep43@queensu.ca. \nSincerely\,\nQUFA Staff
