The aim of Faculty Bargaining Services (FBS) is to support member institutions in their negotiations with faculty (full-time and part-time), teaching assistants and research assistants.  As part of these services, the website offers access to important Canadian and American databases, to our newsletters, and to newsfeeds.  In addition, information is provided on FBS and its member institutions, the role of our field officers, upcoming workshops, and training sessions. Note that full access to information on this website is granted exclusively to those administrators in member institutions that have been identified as assuming a direct responsibility for Framework and Collective Agreements and their associated bargaining process.
