Bargaining Bulletin #21

Ratification procedure

Dear CFA members, 

As a Capilano Faculty Association (CFA) member, you are registered to vote on the ratification of the 2022-2025 Collective Agreement between the Capilano Faculty Association and Capilano University. 

We are starting the voting process with this email to CFA members. 

Prior to Voting

Please visit the links below, which take you to the bargaining bulletins we sent you last Wednesday and Friday:

• Announcement of the tentative agreement, with a summary of the new pay grid and of all the amendments we have agreed on (13 Dec 2023)

• Final “settlement agreement” between the bargaining committees, setting out the agreed changes (15 Dec 2023)

Once you have reviewed these bulletins, we ask that you vote to ratify the agreement. Once you and the employer have ratified it, we can then begin working with the HR and Finance departments to implement it. Note that we will receive retroactive payment of our increase in wages (for April 2022 through now) by the second pay after the CFA and the employer have both ratified.

Voting

At 1 pm today you will receive another e-mail from “CFA” inviting you to cast your vote on ratifying the 2022-25 collective agreement. The subject line will be “Ratification of 2022-25 Collective Agreement.” Ratification voting is open from today through 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, 20 December.

We are using the most current list of employees from the administration, but it may not include all faculty hired subsequent to September 2023. If you do not receive the SimplyVoting e-mail and want to vote, please write to the cfa@capilanou.ca address to let us know.

If you have any questions about this process please contact the CFA through email at cfa@capilanou.ca

Thank-You! 

In solidarity, 

CFA Bargaining Committee,

Michael Begg (spokesperson), Tim Acton, Doug Alards-Tomalin, Eduardo Azmitia (ex officio), and Monica Staff (FPSE representative)
