About Your Union

Who We Are

The University of Manitoba Faculty Association (UMFA) is the certified bargaining agent for over 1,300 full-time academic staff at the University of Manitoba. Members’ working conditions are governed by a Collective Agreement negotiated by the Association.

UMFA advocates for Members’ rights and the continual improvement of their working conditions at the University. Prospective Members are encouraged to review the collective agreement primer and to contact the Association ASAP for further information and assistance.

UMFA belongs to the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT), and through the National Union of CAUT (NUCAUT) maintains membership in the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) and the Manitoba Federation of Labour (MFL). UMFA is also a member of the Manitoba Organization of Faculty Associations (MOFA).
