Negotiation calendar

At CQSU, we’re committed to strengthening collaboration between Quebec’s university unions. Our calendar of collective agreement expiry dates, available below, offers a clear overview of upcoming negotiations for PSAC members.

This calendar is not simply a reminder of upcoming deadlines, but an invitation to solidarity and cooperation. CQSU is committed to facilitating the sharing of information between university unions, thus fostering closer collaboration during negotiations.
