PEI government appoints conciliator
The following message was also issued to faculty and staff by email.
The ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï wants to assure students, faculty, and staff that every effort will be made to keep them informed during the negotiation process in a timely, accurate fashion.
Following the ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï Faculty Association’s request to the Hon. Bloyce Thompson, Minister of Economic Growth, Tourism and Culture, that a conciliator be appointed, the University wrote the Minister, asking him to consider that ºÚÁϳԹÏ’s bargaining team felt there was more to achieve at the negotiation table.
on Wednesday, August 10, the Minister advised ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï that a conciliator would be assigned effective August 24, 2022, which falls after the last two meeting dates previously scheduled for direct collective bargaining.
The University looks forward to the conciliation process and remains committed to achieving negotiated collective agreements with our over 400 valued faculty members as well as our outstanding employees represented by other unions.
The University will continue to update the ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï community by posting information to upei.ca/labour.
