Message from your Chief Negotiator 

Figure 1

Following our mid-June announcement that a tentative bargaining agreement had been reached with the employer, we are pleased to say that—through an online vote running June 28 to July 7—the FSA membership has ratified the proposed settlement.

The ratification brings this round of bargaining, our 19th with the employer, to a close.

What Now?

  • The new 2022-25 Collective Agreement comes into effect following ratification by BCIT’s Board of Governors and the province

  • Settlement details have been posted to the FSA website

Questions?

Members with questions can reach out to me directly.

Thank you!

I want to express my deep appreciation to the members of the FSA Bargaining Team: Terry Gordon, Zaa Joseph, Kenzie Woodbridge, Tom Lane, and Maria Angerilli (FSA staff support).

We also appreciate the participation of members from the very beginning of this round of bargaining. It is with your input and feedback that bargaining themes are developed which lead to bargaining proposals at the table. The FSA staff have all been instrumental in supporting the bargaining process and I extend our appreciation to them for their support and provision of information.
