The College of New Caledonia has reached a tentative agreement with the Faculty Association of CNC (FACNC) representing instructional staff.

It covers approximately 540 faculty members across the college鈥檚 six campuses in 亚洲天堂 Lake, Fort St. James, Mackenzie, Prince George, Quesnel, and Vanderhoof.

Details about the agreement will be available pending ratification by FACNC members.

CNC is pleased to have reached a tentative collective agreement while ensuring there was no disruption to the services provided to the CNC students.

Currently, just over 390,000 people are covered by tentative and ratified agreements settled under the B.C. government鈥檚 Shared Recovery Mandate 鈥� which is about 97 per cent of unionized employees in the provincial public sector.

On Oct. 5, FACNC served 72 hours strike notice, but instead of closing classrooms behind picket lines, they engaged in a work-to-rule campaign starting Oct. 10 while the two sides remained at the bargaining table with the help of a mediator.

Through the North Central Labour Council (NCLC) of BC, the faculty association was acknowledged for their choice to take job action that did not cost core service to the students.

鈥淣CLC would like to congratulate the Faculty Association of CNC on reaching a tentative agreement. Your dedication to your members was evident through your hard fight. Thank you CUPE 4951 and the student union for their solidarity,鈥� said a social media message from the council.
