Part-time and Sessional Faculty

updated: Sept 29, 2025

CALLING ALL PART-TIME AND SESSIONAL FACULTY

Since in April 2025, all part-time and sessional faculty are now unionized!

The union organizing drive took more than 8 years to complete, but it’s finally done; all Part-Time (teaching 6 h/wk or less) and Sessional (teaching 13h/wk or more) professors, instructors, counsellors, and librarians (collectively referred to as “faculty“) are now unionized. 

Part-Time and Sessional Faculty will be their own Bargaining Unit, separate from existing Full-Time and Partial- Load faculty. As such, you will need your own Provincial Leadership and Bargaining Team to negotiate your FIRST collective agreement. In June 2026, your Divisional Leadership and Bargaining Team were elected.
