The Collective Agreement between UBC and the UBC Faculty Association is the legal document protecting your rights and governing your work as a UBC employee. Its terms are negotiated between the university administration and the Faculty Association, and it is in force until a new agreement is ratified. It governs many of the terms and conditions of your work at UBC.
The Collective Agreement is composed of component sections. Several Letters of Understanding (LOU) and Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) are also part of the Collective Agreement.
In May 2026, the bargaining teams for UBC and the Faculty Association reached an agreement for a new contract for the period July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2029. An information package was released to the membership (available in our Bargaining Blog) and the Collective Agreement was ratified by both parties in June 2026. A compendium of all agreed-upon changes is available as a PDF here.
The current Agreement covers the period July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2029. A PDF of this Agreement will be made available as soon as the final copy is received. If you have any questions, please contact us.
