Classes, programs, and services continuing at all campuses as CNC and the Faculty Association of CNC continue negotiations

CNC and the Faculty Association of CNC representing the college’s instructional staff have been negotiating for a new collective bargaining agreement under the Province’s Shared Recovery Mandate for the past several months.

The parties are currently engaged in meetings with a mediator from the Labour Relations Board, who is assisting the parties in their discussions.

Recently, we have been made aware the Faculty Association, which includes nearly 550 employees, has conducted a strike vote.  This can be a normal step in the bargaining process.

The College and the Faculty Association are scheduled to continue bargaining with the mediator this week to reach a collective agreement that works for both the employees and the College. 

All CNC classes, programs, and services are continuing at all campuses as our work towards a new collective agreement takes place.

Currently, just over 390,000 people are covered by tentative and ratified agreements settled under the Shared Recovery Mandate – which is about 97 per cent of unionized employees in the provincial public sector.
