The collective agreement for the CFA ends in March 2025 and the collective agreement for MoveUP ends in June 2025. Both the CFA and MoveUP have provided notice to bargain, and the University, together with the Post-Secondary Employers’ Association (PSEA), will begin scheduling bargaining meetings throughout Fall 2025 and Spring 2026.

Bargaining refers to the formal process of negotiation between employers and unions to establish terms and conditions of employment.
CapU has the following collective agreements:
- CFA Collective Agreement (2022-2025) (pdf)
- MoveUP Collective Agreement (2022-2025) (pdf)
Our goal is to maintain open and transparent communication with the CapU community.
Employees can stay informed by accessing the bargaining updates posted on the CapU website and through information received by their union.
For the employer:
For CFA bargaining, the bargaining team is led by the labour relations team in people, culture & diversity, with participation from representatives in decanal and administrative roles across the University.
For MoveUP bargaining, the bargaining team is led by the labour relations team in people, culture & diversity, with participation from representatives in decanal and administrative roles across the University.
Please visit the CFA or MoveUP websites for more on their bargaining committees.
Post-bargaining, there is ratification of the tentative collective agreement between the employer and the employee groups that is communicated and then implemented.
