PEI government appoints conciliator
The following message was also issued to faculty and staff by email.
The 17吃瓜 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 17吃瓜 Faculty Association鈥檚 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 17吃瓜鈥檚 bargaining team felt there was more to achieve at the negotiation table.
on Wednesday, August 10, the Minister advised 17吃瓜 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 17吃瓜 community by posting information to upei.ca/labour.
