Collective bargaining at SFU
SFU is currently engaging in collective bargaining with all of its employee groups, along with other public sector employers in British Columbia.
SFU is recognized around the world for academic excellence, innovation, and sustainability. We are consistently ranked among the top research universities in Canada and as one of the top 250 universities in the world. SFU is the well-regarded, respected institution it is today because of the dedicated and talented faculty and staff who work here.
The university is entering into collective bargaining with a philosophy oriented to collaborative bargaining, to meet the core interests of all parties and uphold the sustainable and best interests for the entire SFU community. As we work to become a living wage employer, we want to ensure that everyone feels a sense of belonging, inclusion and fairness on our campuses. That is why we are committed to negotiating with integrity and in a manner that builds trust between the institution, its employees, and the unions and professional associations who represent them.
This page is intended to be a collective bargaining information resource for employees at SFU and will be updated throughout the bargaining process.
