Conciliation meeting with CUPE Local 3912, October 20

Posted by admin on October 10, 2025 in Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), Local 3912

The bargaining teams for the Dal Board and CUPE Local 3912 met on October 2 for a day of conciliation, however they were unable to reach an agreement. 

Earlier this week, the conciliator filed a report declaring the parties at an impasse, which means that the Board and CUPE are now in a 14-day waiting period. They will meet again with a conciliator on October 20. If they do not reach an agreement, a strike and/or lockout is possible. 

We remain optimistic that an agreement will be reached through conciliation. More information will be shared if a labour disruption appears likely.

CUPE Local 3912 represents part-time academics along with TAs, markers and demonstrators. The collective agreement expired on August 31, 2024.
