Bargaining negotiations with Athabasca University have officially started.

The first meeting was held virtually on May 25, 2024. During the meeting, both parties’ bargaining committee members met and briefly discussed scheduling options for the exchange of proposals and the format in which those meetings would be conducted. Drawing upon first-hand knowledge and lived experience, AUFA’s Bargaining Lead communicated to the AU bargaining team about the challenges, priorities, demands, and expectations that AUFA members have for this round of negotiations. We also affirmed our commitment to engaging in constructive dialogue to ensure those demands are met.
