Collective Bargaining between Carleton University and CUPE 2424, the union representing more than 1,000 administrative, technical and library workers, started on Aug. 23, 2023. Since then, the parties have met 10 times engaging in constructive and thoughtful discussion around non-monetary items.
The discussion between the parties on monetary issues will begin today, Oct. 30 and continue tomorrow, Oct. 31. The next bargaining session is scheduled for Nov. 29. Further meetings are being scheduled.
Lorraine Dyke, Vice-President Finance and Administration said:
“The university’s goal is to achieve a negotiated agreement that is fair to our valued CUPE 2424 employees and reflects the important work that they do every day. Over the course of bargaining, we have made meaningful progress and I remain optimistic that we will have a successful conclusion to negotiations.”
