The parties have ratified a three-year agreement for the period between July 1, 2014 and June 30, 2017. BUFA represents 576 professors and professional librarians at Brock.
Bargaining discussions commenced in May 2014 and pre-conciliation mediation began on Aug 6. BUFA and the University acknowledge the critical role of mediator Peter Simpson, from the Ministry of Labour, in bringing the parties together and building a bridge to the tentative agreement.
The tentative agreement was reached on Aug 13. It was ratified by the Brock University Board of Trustees on Aug 25 and by the BUFA membership on Aug 29.
