Brandon University reaches four-year deal with MGEU employees

Published:

Brandon University and the Manitoba Government and General Employees’ Union have each ratified a new four-year Collective Agreement for the nearly 100 key support staff represented by MGEU at BU.

The new deal covers a four-year period from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2028 and replaces the previous agreement, which expired at the end of March this year.

“This is a very good and very fair deal, and I thank everyone on both teams for their thoughtful contributions and commitment at the table, which let us advance in relatively short order,” said Kristen Fisher, BU’s Associate Vice-President (People and Talent) and the university’s lead negotiator.

UPDATE: Posted jointly on behalf of lead negotiators Lisa Robson (BUFA) and Kristen Fisher (BU)

The below communication was misleading; a strike is not guaranteed. While the Faculty Association’s strike deadline remains, at this time Brandon University and the BU Faculty Association are very much still at the table and working hard to reach an agreement.
