Getting to the pointy end of bargaining

The ULGSA Bargaining Team held its fifth bargaining session with the University of Lethbridge on December 13th-15th.  It was a more productive session than the one held in October, but not without some contention.  In the end, the team managed to sign-off on four more articles and committed to tabling the union’s monetary demands during our next meeting with the University in January.

Our bargaining team met with the University October 26^th and 27^th to start negotiations for our new collective agreement. We have prioritized the following issues:

• Fair wages and benefits
• Job security
• Fair and helpful performance evaluations
• Improved sick leave
• Professional Development
