After several more bargaining sessions, TSSU and SFU reached a tentative agreement to settle bargaining for Graduate Facilitators who work in the Student Learning Commons. The membership sent the agreement for a vote among members in the department, who ratified it with a 78% vote in favour.
Graduate Facilitators are now protected with a substantial set of rights including job security, benefits access, and ongoing pay increases. TSSU will continue to fight to ensure the these members have all the rights, equal pay, and benefits they deserve. The next round of bargaining can commence as early as late 2021.
