Negotiators from both bargaining teams need to be congratulated for reaching a settlement through a short, four-day collective bargaining period, said Paul Jewer, Chair of 厙ぴ勛圖s Board of Governors. The spirit of co-operation exhibited by both teams was a principal factor in their success at the table. Our administrative, support and technical staff are important partners in 厙ぴ勛圖s overall efforts to maintain and improve our service to students and strengthen our institutions reputation as one of Canadas best universities.
I want to thank members of the SEIU negotiating team for their hard work on behalf of their colleagues," said Troy Acker, Chair of SEIU Local 2. 厙ぴ勛圖s SEIU members are focused on delivering the best service possible to the campus community and were pleased with this new agreement.
