Re: Faculty and Librarian Bargaining Update

The University is providing an update on the current round of bargaining between the University of Toronto and the University of Toronto Faculty Association (UTFA) for the period July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024. The parties have agreed to proceed to mediation with a third-party mediator, Eli Gedalof, commencing on October 3, 2024. The University and UTFA have been engaged in ongoing bargaining since September 2023, having met on 30 dates.

Mediator Gedalof will also work with the parties on the separate process to negotiate possible revisions to the Memorandum of Agreement outside of Article 6 bargaining.
