Collective Agreements

A collective agreement is a written contract between an employer and a union that outlines many of the terms and conditions of employment for employees in a bargaining unit. The university currently has five collective agreements with three different unions.

• The University of Ontario Institute of Technology Faculty Association (UOITFA) represents the tenured and tenure-track faculty, teaching faculty, and limited-term faculty members under one collective agreement.
• The Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) represents Sessional Lecturers, Teaching Assistants/Research Assistants/Invigilators, and Post Doctoral Fellows in three separate collective agreements.
• Finally, the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) represents professional, administrative and technical staff under one collective agreement.

The following section contains collective agreements negotiated between Ontario Tech and the unions representing employees who belong to a specific bargaining unit.
