Negotiation

Improving Members’ Workplace Experience

AAPS is the legal bargaining agent of the Management & Professional group at The University of British Columbia.

The current Collective Agreement runs from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025.

The Collective Agreement is the binding framework that structures the working relationship between UBC and AAPS members. The Collective Agreement covers virtually every aspect of the working relationship from salary, sick leave and holidays to promotion, termination and the grievance process. You can find an electronic copy of the Collective Agreement by visiting the Collective Agreement website page.

The Collective Agreement is actually two documents, the

• Agreement on Conditions and Terms of Employment
• Framework Agreement

Both documents can be found by visiting the Collective Agreement website page.

Ongoing Conversations

While the Collective Agreement is the principal document AAPS negotiates on behalf of its members, the organization also has ongoing conversations with the University related to the employment relationship. These include one-on-one meetings with UBC Human Resources to discuss individual cases, quarterly Information Sharing and Informal Problem Solving meetings with UBC Human Resources to discuss systemic issues, and regular communications with the University President and the VP Human Resources.
