Queen’s University and the United Steelworkers (USW) and its Local 2010, Unit 01 (Academic Assistants) have reached a tentative agreement to renew their Collective Agreement.
Academic Assistants perform duties such as tutoring, grading, lab assistance, and research assistance, and normally work under the direct supervision of a member of the academic staff.
The agreement is tentative and still subject to successful ratification by the parties involved. Full details of the agreement will remain confidential pending their ratification. The parties began negotiations in May of this year.
