Bargaining Updates
Dear GSA members,
The GSA Union bargaining team had another session of negotiations with the University Administration on April 21 and 22. The parties have tabled their proposals and began discussions of the monetary items (salary increases). Our task remains focused on non-monetary issues before we fully move into issues that have financial implications for both parties. With that in mind, we have managed to agree to a few more items and we will continue our exchanges when we meet again.
The Parties will resume negotiations on June 23 and 26 (virtual session) and again on July 7-8 (in person). Please stay tuned for further updates following the next session. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact anyone of your bargaining team members.
In solidarity,

Dear GSA members,
The GSA Union bargaining team commenced negotiations with the University Administration for a new collective agreement on December 3-4. Our bargaining team tabled a non-monetary proposal’s package that included several discussion items. The University also tabled a package that predominantly contained clarifications and housekeeping items. The parties had good discussions and provided the needed clarifications of their respective proposals.
The Parties agreed to resume negotiations on March 10-12 and continue April 22-23. Over the next few weeks, your bargaining team will prepare the monetary proposals for tabling with the University at upcoming sessions.
Once we begin to discuss more substantive matters, there will be more details to brief you on. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact anyone of your bargaining team members.
In solidarity,
