Start of Post-Bill 124 Renegotiations
April 5, 2024
Three weeks ago, CUASA officially requested the Employer to renegotiate salary increases for the period of May 1, 2021 to April 30, 2024, that was previously capped to a maximum 1% because of the Protecting a Sustainable Public Sector for Future Generations Act, commonly referred to as Bill 124.
The parties met on March 26, to exchange initial proposals. CUASA tabled its first proposal seeking to account for the high inflation experienced the last few years, and to try and close the gap between our members’ salaries and those of faculty at other comprehensive universities in Ontario.
CUASA and the University are scheduled to meet again next week to continue our discussions and try to reach an agreement. Please watch for updates in upcoming Communiqués or on the CUASA website.
