Negotiations commence with IBEW 1928

The following statement was also emailed to faculty and staff on March 9, 2026.

UPEI begins negotiations today towards a new collective agreement with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW 1928). Meetings are scheduled to take place March 9, 10, and 11.

We remain committed to respectful and constructive dialogue as we work to reach an agreement at the bargaining table that is fair for employees and sustainable for the long‑term health of our institution.

We will continue to share updates throughout the collective bargaining process. For more information, please visit UPEI’s Labour Relations web page.
