The MUNFA and MUNL Negotiating Committees met on January 27, 2022, to begin collective bargaining. While it is our hope that a mutually satisfactory Collective Agreement can be negotiated without job action, we intend to be ready in the event that job action is needed.
MUNFA’s Contract Action Team is working to maximize member engagement and to create a well-organized membership that will be able to fight for, and win, the contract all members deserve. This involves mobilizing members as well as developing fast communication avenues both to get developments at the negotiating table out to members, and to get members’ views to the Negotiating Committee. Ideally, the CAT would include at least one representative from each Academic Unit (AU), and multiple representatives from larger AUs.
Starting Sept. 12, 2022, the Contract Action Team is meeting weekly on Mondays from 9:30-10:30 am. Meetings are open to all MUNFA members, and the CAT is accepting new volunteers. To join the CAT or to get the Zoom link for the weekly meeting, email membership.munfa@mun.ca.
