Negotiating Committee - (Negotiating Team + Contract Committee)
The Negotiating Committee acts as the appropriate body for negotiations on behalf of all WUFA members. They are responsible for negotiating strategies and reporting to Executive, Council and the Membership.
The Negotiation Committee is constituted by two subcommittees: The Contract Committee and the Negotiation Team. Members remain on the Committee until the next round of negotiations, or unless they leave the bargaining unit.
Negotiating Team 2026 - TBD
Elected by Council, the Negotiating Team negotiates the Collective Agreement at the bargaining table on behalf of the Faculty Association.
Contract Committee 2026
The Contract Committee polls the membership for contract ideas, develops contract proposals, and provides useful data to the Negotiating Team in preparation for contract negotiations.
