York reaches tentative deal with faculty association ahead of fall semester

The York University Faculty Association says it has reached a tentative deal with the university.

The association says the deal to extend the collective agreement until April 2027 was brokered just before midnight Monday.

If ratified, the deal would avert a strike or a walkout at the large Toronto-based university, where fall classes are scheduled to start in two weeks.

The union had previously said a major issue had been increased class sizes linked to the restructuring of university’s Glendon and Keele campuses.

An update posted to the union’s website says the deal would see wages increase by 3.1 per cent in the first year and 2.85 per cent in the second and third year of the agreement.

The union says an online ratification vote will open Thursday after a membership meeting to discuss the deal.
