CJOB: University talks fail
Negotiations Friday between Brandon University and the Brandon University Faculty Association (BUFA) have failed to resolve the dispute between the two sides. No further talks are planned.
The Faculty Association rejected a proposal that would have seen a salary, increment and benefit increase to their members of 22.3% over three years. The salary portion of this proposed increase was 3% in each year of a three-year agreement, or over 9% over the life of the agreement.
Earlier the Faculty Association rejected proposed amendments to the teaching workload of professors from 18 credit hours per year to 15 credit hours.
Brandon University officials believe they have a fair and equitable financial proposal before the Faculty Association. They say it exceeds the packages accepted at other universities in Manitoba.
