Collective Agreements
There are a number of employee groups on campus that represent faculty and staff. Some of these groups form bargaining units with collective agreements and are represented by unions.
Below is the list of collective agreements for each of the unions at Dalhousie University. If you are not sure which union you belong to, please contact People and Culture at 494-3700 or labour@dal.ca.
