Our current Collective Agreement expires on June 30, 2013 and preparation for the next round of bargaining by the USFA has already begun.

Faculty Association Representatives (FARs) will play an integral part in the preparation process and we ask that members consult with their FARs regarding bargaining preparations.

We have already met and provided FARs with our first Bargaining Update which outlines University of Saskatchewan faculty salaries relative to our comparators. Future bargaining updates will outline other issues relevant to the next round of negotiations.

The USFA Executive is committed to reaching out to our members to understand your desires and perspectives with respect to terms and conditions of employment. Your feedback and support is critically important, and we look forward to the knowledgeable and creative perspectives of our members.

Should you wish to make your position known directly to the Negotiations Team, please feel free to contact Jim Cheesman, Senior Professional Officer, at 966-5618 or e-mail him at jim.cheesman@usask.ca
