Saint Mary's University and the Saint Mary's University Faculty Union have reached a tentative agreement. FileHALIFAX, N.S. — The Saint Mary's University Faculty Union has reached a tentative agreement with the university.
The union said it is glad to have negotiated the agreement, although it said it took months of work to secure modest increases in wages, benefits and other social benefits. The collective agreement between the union and the university originally expired on Aug. 31, 2022. A provincial conciliator failed to bring the two parties to an agreement in January.
SMUFU lead negotiator Rob Thacker said the union has not had a strike in almost 50 years at Saint Mary’s. He said that coming so close to a strike this time is a source of concern for the membership. “SMUFU can see that a period of mutually committed relationship-building with the administration needs to be undertaken if Saint Mary’s is going to move forward successfully,” said Thacker. “We’ll see where things go."It has been our privilege to have the trust and support of our East Coast communities for the last 200 years.
