One of the most important things FAUW does is engage in compensation negotiations with the University on behalf of all regular faculty.聽
Collective bargaining at the University of 蓝莓视频 is handled differently from most post-secondary institutions in Ontario and Canada. Compensation negotiations at the University of 蓝莓视频 are limited to:
- the annual scale change in members鈥 salaries,聽
- changes in the salary structure,
- anomalies and other special salary increases,
- changes to the Faculty Professional Expense Reimbursement Plan,
- 鈥渙ther benefits specific to Members鈥 (10.2,聽Memorandum of Agreement), and
- changes to benefits defined in University policies and/or administered by the Pensions and Benefits Committee.
All other matters are covered in policy and the Memorandum of Agreement, overseen by the Faculty Relations Committee.
Compensation settlements are negotiated by three-person teams from each of the Faculty Association and the University. They may be for one, two or three years.
