Tentative Agreement Ratified

Website banner for WLUFA with a navy blue background, a circular WLUFA logo on the left, and large white text reading “Collective Agreement Ratified.” Smaller text above reads “2026–2029 Full-time Faculty and Professional Librarians.” Grey diagonal accents and thin horizontal divider lines frame the design.

The Tentative Agreement has now been ratified by both the WLUFA Membership and the Employer.

This marks the conclusion of the ratification process and confirms the new 2026–2029 Full-time Faculty and Professional Librarians Collective Agreement between WLUFA and Wilfrid Laurier University.

Ratification gives Members the final say on a Tentative Agreement. WLUFA Members reviewed the agreement, attended the bargaining unit meeting, asked questions, and decided whether to accept it.

The Bargaining Team carried out the work of negotiating on behalf of the bargaining unit throughout this round, but the authority to ratify the agreement rested with the Membership.

With ratification complete, implementation of the negotiated changes can now move forward.

Members with questions about the new agreement, including implementation, retroactive payments, or other details, can contact the WLUFA office at [email protected].
