On Saturday, a small group of University of Manitoba bargaining team members met with UMFA representatives to clarify the numbers and calculations that make up the university’s and UMFA’s monetary offers. UMFA confirmed that the university has calculated the actual cost of the proposals accurately, although there continues to be disagreement on how to report those numbers.

The university and UMFA will be back at the bargaining table on Monday, Nov. 15 to continue mediation as they work on a new collective agreement. The university will also be tabling an updated monetary offer.  

Updates will continue to be provided via the bargaining website as soon as further information is available.
