Collective Agreement
Collective Bargaining Agreements:
The contractual agreements between Saskatchewan Polytechnic and SPFA are contained in a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) along with a series of independent agreements called Letters of Understanding (LOUs). Some LOUs are contained in the Appendices of the CBA, and all other applicable LOUs are provided on this page. The CBA sets out the agreed-upon workplace rules and obligations of both the employer and SPFA membership that shall be followed for a specific duration of time before amendments, additions, or redactions can be negotiated.
As the bargaining agent, SPFA’s mandate is to seek the greatest benefit for the greatest percentage of its membership.
SPFA will begin collecting bargaining proposals in the fall of 2025 in preparation of our next round of collective bargaining in the spring of 2026.
Final Academic CBA July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026
Letters of Understanding:
From time to time, SPFA and Sask Polytech identify the need for a resolution to a labour relations issue that impacts SPFA membership and the institution. When this occurs, the parties engage in micro-negotiations for new rights or rules that are not identified in the CBA. If the parties can agree to a resolution, the resulting ‘binding’ document is called a Letter of Understanding (LOU).
Purposefully, the SPFA does not engage in LOU’s outside of collective bargaining unless there is an urgent or specific need that will provide an immediate benefit to our membership.
