CBC: STU faculty rejects administration’s offer
Faculty at St. Thomas University in Fredericton have rejected the administration’s final contract offer.
The vote conducted Monday and Tuesday by the province’s Labour and Employment Board saw full-time faculty members reject the deal by a count of 74-28.
Part-time faculty voted against it by a margin of 31-18.
The faculty union is calling for both sides to return to negotiations. The administration has not yet said if it’s willing to do that.
The union has been asking for increased wages, more office space and a reduced workload.
The offer that was voted down included a pay increase of three per cent annually for two years and 3.5 per cent in the third year.
