Cupe 3799 has ratified a collective agreement with the University of Northern BC.
As part of the agreement, union members will be able to adjust their hours without loss of pay to attend member meetings, and long term employees will be eligible for increased vacation time, with post retirement benefits.
The doubling of overtime banks was also ratified, and numerous other housekeeping and minor language clarifications were added.
Wages however, will be following their current mandate of 5.5% over five years, instead of a 1% increase on July the 1st. While in addition employees will be receiving a 0.2% percent increase instead.
Cupe represents at least 350 members of support staff at UNBC.
