Your negotiating team and the University of Calgary continued informal mediation on Jan. 21, 22, and 23. Mediation went well, and we are now making progress after a slow start in October.
We had productive discussions on vacation language improvements. These were the most substantial back-and-forth conversations we have had this round of bargaining. The employer agreed to research and review our proposal and respond at our next meeting. We feel this is a positive sign and hope it is the beginning of a trend.
We have proposed changes to the employer’s policy on hybrid/remote and want it included as a new article in the collective agreement. We will raise these changes again at our next mediations dates.
We were able to sign off on the following:
Article 1 - Interpretation & Definitions
Article 10 - Rights & Privileges of the Local
Article 26 - Acting Incumbency Premium
Article 30 - Sick Leave
LOU #4 - Group Leader Premium
LOU #5 - Educational Work Experience Programs
Mediation continues April 2 and 3.
Our AUPE Essential Services team is still working with the employer to update the Essential Services Agreement. If you would like to share information about your specific job profile with the team, please email Lianne Lawford at l.lawford@aupe.org.
Show your solidarity––wear red on April 2 and 3 to support your negotiating team. You can also take photos of you and your coworkers wearing red to show off your solidarity, then send your photos to photos@aupe.org and we will post them on AUPE’s social media.
