Collective Agreement Bargaining 2025
Our Current Collective Agreement was ratified on January 24, 2022 and covers the period from July 1, 2021 to June 30,2025. This means that we are now beginning bargaining with the employer for a new Collective Agreement. We will post regular updates here so you can stay informed. The latest update will be posted here, with a full list on the main Bargaining page. Please check that main page for full details! See also the side bar on this page.
Due to the recent changes to the membership, we kindly ask that all members share your updated personal email with the CUEFA communcations team to receive future correspondence.
Bargaining Update: December 19, 2025
Please see full details and all updates on the main Bargaining page.
- The bargaining team met for mediation four times in November and December. No new articles have been signed off in mediation (no articles signed since August 6, 2025).
- On December 18, the employer presented a full package for consideration. While the bargaining team sees the possibility of agreement on some issues, there remains significant distance between the administration and the bargaining team on the following issues identified as important to the membership:
- Intellectual Property (Article 17);
- Promotion and Advancement (Articles 9 and 11);
- Academic Freedom (embedded through the CA);
- Academic Service Officers - Roles and Duties (Articles 39-41).
- Compensation was also presented as part of the complete package, but has not yet been discussed. The CUEFA bargaining team and the employer have four additional days of mediation scheduled in January, which will allow further discussion of the full details of the employer’s presented draft.

We continue to work towards greater equity and transparency at CUE among faculty/ASOs, sessional instructors, students, and administration and CUE's Board of Governors.
In recognition that we are all CUE, we believe in moving forward as a collaborative community.
Only together can we truly carry out the mission and vision of Concordia University of Edmonton.
