Bargaining updates

SFU is taking steps to become a living wage employer for all employees. This will include adding a Living Wage requirement to contracts so that contracted workers in food services, cleaning and other services are guaranteed a living wage by their employers.

Throughout 2023, SFU will be in active negotiation with each of the university’s employee groups. This is an important time as the university, employee groups and negotiators work together to address monetary proposals in alignment with the Public Sector mandate and non-monetary requests for each employee group.

Simon Fraser University will begin taking steps to become a Living Wage Employer, furthering its commitment to improve equity and inclusion for working members of the SFU community.

SFU is pleased that negotiations with APSA leadership have now concluded. We reached agreement on two of the three elements of the current PSEC mandate: wages and the term of the agreement.

SFU and the Administrative and Professional Staff Association (APSA) have been engaged in negotiations around salary increases and other generally available economic benefits.
