Faculty Bargaining Services

The aim of Faculty Bargaining Services (FBS) is to support member institutions in both bargaining and academic contract administration for faculty, librarians, faculty paid by course, teaching assistants, research assistants and post-doctoral fellows.  The program of services remains collaborative and participatory, and continues to evolve based on the needs of member institutions.  As part of these services, the website offers access to several Canadian databases, newsletters and newsfeeds.  In addition, information is provided on upcoming workshops and training sessions, FBS and its member institutions and the role of field officers.  Full access is granted exclusively to those administrators in member institutions who have been identified as assuming a direct responsibility for Collective and Framework Agreement bargaining and contract administration.
