CEC opts to impose terms and conditions

  • Posted by Taras Gula

  • Date December 12, 2021

Greetings all:
Unfortunately, the Colleges and CEC team have rejected faculty's offer to extend the existing Collective Agreement until at least January 3, and have opted to impose terms and conditions of their choosing on Monday, December 13.  To be clear, the CEC has chosen labour disruption over further negotiations or voluntary binding interest arbitration, which are both still on the table from faculty.  Either continued negotiations or interest arbitration would ensure labour stability while allowing both sides' proposals to be considered by an arbitrator.
We anticipate that the CEC will attempt to spin this as faculty attempting to deny improvements to faculty, when the opposite is true: the faculty team has been pushing for and bargaining meaningful and ongoing improvements throughout this process.  More will follow as we get the details.
It is important to note that the initial imposition of terms is not necessarily the last.  The Colleges and CEC can change the terms they impose at will and college by college.
Faculty will be providing the required 5-day notice of labour action to the CEC as a result, and can begin work-to-rule, which will begin first with the union Locals, as of December 18.  Details will follow shortly.
Here is the latest media coverage in regard to our bargaining: https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2021/12/12/faculty-at-ontarios-24-public-colleges-vote-in-favour-of-job-action.html?fbclid=IwAR0KemcNm-she6EAeZ-jTzvxAl9CR40w_78UFr3EwhCEaIZe5zWWZZEM51I

Salutations à tous:

Malheureusement, les collèges et l’équipe de la CEC ont rejeté l’offre du corps professoral de prolonger la convention collective existante au moins jusqu’au 3 janvier, et ont choisi d’imposer les conditions de leur choix le lundi 13 décembre.  Pour être clair, la CEC a choisi l’interruption de travail plutôt que d’autres négociations ou l’arbitrage volontaire de différends exécutoires, qui sont tous deux toujours sur la table de la part du corps professoral.  La poursuite des négociations ou l’arbitrage des différends assurerait la stabilité du travail tout en permettant à un arbitre d’examiner les propositions des deux parties.

Nous prévoyons que la CEC tentera de faire passer cela pour un corps professoral qui tente de refuser des améliorations au corps professoral, alors que le contraire est vrai : l’équipe du corps professoral a fait pression pour obtenir et négocier des améliorations significatives et continues tout au long de ce processus.  D’autres suivront au fur et à mesure que nous obtiendrons les détails.

Il est important de noter que l’imposition initiale des conditions n’est pas nécessairement la dernière.  Les collèges et la CEC peuvent modifier les conditions qu’ils imposent à volonté et collège par collège.

Le corps professoral fournira l’avis de 5 jours requis de l’action syndicale à la CEC en conséquence, et peut commencer le travail à la règle, qui commencera d’abord avec les sections locales du syndicat, à partir du 18 décembre.  Les détails suivront sous peu.

Voici la dernière couverture médiatique en ce qui concerne nos négociations : https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2021/12/12/faculty-at-ontarios-24-public-colleges-vote-in-favour-of-job-action.html?fbclid=IwAR0KemcNm-she6EAeZ-jTzvxAl9CR40w_78UFr3EwhCEaIZe5zWWZZEM51I

En solidarité,

Votre équipe de négociation des CAAT-A
