69传媒Community Bulletin: University and 69传媒Faculty Association agree to tentative deal
The 69传媒 and the 69传媒Faculty Association (69传媒FA), Bargaining Unit 1 and Bargaining Unit 2, reached a tentative Collective Agreement on Friday, April 14, 2023.
Details of the settlement will be shared with the relevant parties by their respective bargaining teams. The agreement will need to be ratified by members of the 69传媒FA and the University鈥檚 Board of Governors before any information is publicly released.
Once the agreement is ratified, this means that the 69传媒FA strike will end, faculty will return to work, and classes will resume on Monday, April 17, 2023, subject to approval by the University Senate.
The University thanks all the members of the bargaining teams for their hard work and dedication through this round of bargaining. 69传媒also thanks the Government of Prince Edward Island, but, in particular, Premier Dennis King, for supporting the recent mediation process as well as assisting the two parties in the last 24 hours to reach the tentative agreement.
An emergency meeting of the University Senate will take place to finalize the return-to-class plan. Information will be communicated to students, staff, and faculty by their 69传媒email accounts as soon as possible. Updates will also continue to be posted on the 69传媒Labour Relations website at upei.ca/labour.
