Collective negotiations agreements cannot violate the law or have the effect of subjecting an applicant or employee to an activity prohibited by the law. Agreements cannot interfere with the duty of the University to make a reasonable accommodation.

If accommodations are planned which appear to contravene a provision of an agreement, such as transferring a staff employee without posting, contact the Office of Labor Relations and the Office of Employment Equity so that appropriate discussions with the union involved may take place. For questions concerning faculty and Teaching Assistants and Graduate Assistants, contact the Office of Academic Labor Relations.
