The issues of negotiation in Quebec and Canada and their impacts on labour relations in Canadian universities

We had the opportunity to participate in a dynamic discussion with the Réseau Francophone des Universités Canadiennes, in which we addressed some of the economic and structural issues currently facing Canadian universities, with a particular focus on how these challenges are playing out at the collective bargaining table. The conversation highlighted the significant impact of recent legislative changes and ongoing budgetary pressures on the higher education sector, which are reshaping institutional priorities and adding new layers of complexity to labour negotiations.
