Bargaining Update  Progress Report &  Upcoming Events banner

Hello fellow YUSA Members:

Since our last update, the YUSA Bargaining Committee met with the Employer on September 24th and October 9th. Both YUSA and the Employer have shared additional proposals and counter-proposals at these meetings.

Tentative Agreements

YUSA and the Employer have reached tentative agreement on the following articles:

  • Article 8
    • This article will remain status quo.
  • Article 9
    • Two new mediators and one new arbitrator have been added to the respective lists.

We are still currently in the early stages of bargaining but progress is being made.

Monetary Proposals

As before, neither YUSA nor the Employer have shared any monetary proposals (salaries, benefits, etc.) at this time. We are awaiting some production items and related materials from the Employer in order to further develop and finalize our monetary proposals.

Winter Holiday Schedule

YUSA has presented a proposed winter holiday schedule to the Employer that would put us in line with TMU and U of T with regard to time off during the holiday season.

Future Bargaining Dates

YUSA will be meeting with the Employer next week, on October 15th, for further bargaining.
