January 28 of this year, all members of the Faculty of Law were included in the main collective agreement of the Association. However, the employer wanted to negotiate some particularities specific to the Faculty of Law, including the salary catch-up.
After several bargaining sessions, the arbitrator determined these particularities, which the Association celebrates as a victory for all members in the Faculty. In addition to rejecting several proposals of the employer, notably exclusion clauses on the scope of the collective agreement, the arbitrator accorded the salary catch-up rate requested by the Association.
