(Ottawa – 18 February 2020) The 150 full-time and 60 part-time members of the Mount Allison Faculty Association (MAFA) have voted 91% to ratify their new collective agreement.

The new three-year contract includes improvements on accommodation of members with disabilities and greater job security for long-serving part-time faculty members. The negotiated agreement was reached after a six-day strike.

“While progress was made there is still room for further improvement in these areas as well as in the areas of resources for the academic mission and workload,” said MAFA president Matt Litvak.
