Notice to Bargain Received from CUPE 501 and UPEIFA BU #1

UPEI has now received Notice to Bargain from the Canadian Union of Public Employees 501 (CUPE 501) and the University of Prince Edward Island Faculty Association Bargaining Unit #1 (UPEIFA BU #1). Negotiations are anticipated to commence in the coming months.

We are committed to respectful, collaborative negotiations, and to reaching an agreement that is fair for employees and sustainable for the long‑term health of the institution.
Consistent with our bargaining principles, we will continue to engage in good‑faith discussions and focus on shared priorities that support our employees, uphold a strong student experience, and maintain the overall stability of the institution.

As discussions progress, we will continue to share updates to keep the UPEI community informed. To view previous updates or for details on our approach to collective bargaining, visit the Labour Relations web pages on upei.ca.
