After a period of intensive bargaining (four days across two weeks), MUALA reached a tentative agreement with the Employer on Friday, May 10. Overall, the tone at the table was collegial and productive and MUALA is very pleased to have made significant progress on all the issues identified by members in its bargaining mandate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After presenting the details of the tentative collective agreement to members over the course of two information sessions, members voted to ratify the new agreement on Thursday, May 23. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Employer\u2019s ratification process is currently underway and will culminate with McMaster\u2019s Board of Governors Meeting on Thursday, June 6. Once ratification is complete, the new collective agreement will be posted to the MUALA website, before coming into effect on August 1, 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This work could not have been completed without the tremendous effort of the MUALA Negotiations Committee and Bargaining Team, as well as external support from the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations (OCUFA) and the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT).
