Dear Langara College Members:
The Bargaining Committee is pleased to advise that we reached a tentative agreement in principle with the employer on August 31, 2026. The Bargaining Committee will present to the membership the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) that was negotiated with the employer. After the presentation, we will answer any questions you may have. You will then be able to cast your vote to accept or not accept the agreement as presented. Members will need to show identification prior to receiving a ballot. There is no voting by proxy.
The Bargaining Committee unanimously recommends a yes vote.
