Tentative agreement reached with U of T workers

  • The University of Toronto reached a tentative agreement with the United Steelworkers Local 1998, avoiding potential industrial action as classes began. The deal covers more than 6,100 administrative, technical, and IT staff members.
  • Members of the USW Local had previously voted 96 per cent in favour of a strike mandate, citing concerns about heavy workloads and job security. The university planned to save $20 million by not replacing departing staff.
  • Kenneth Corts, the University of Toronto's VP of people, finance and digital services, thanked both bargaining teams for their professionalism. The university stated it is pleased the tentative agreement has been reached.
  • United Steelworkers Local 1998 will schedule a ratification information town hall to provide an overview of the tentative agreement to members. Details regarding the ratification vote will be shared once finalized.
  • If ratified by union members, the collective agreement will remain in effect until June 30, 2029. This provides long-term stability for the university and the thousands of administrative and technical staff represented by the union.
