About Collective Bargaining

A collective agreement is a written contract between Mount Allison University and a union that outlines the terms and conditions of employment for our employees in a bargaining unit.  

The terms and conditions are reached through collective bargaining between the employer and the union.

Please regularly monitor this website for updates regarding collective bargaining at Mount Allison.
