Employee Relations
Our labour environment
Talented and committed employees are key to providing students with an education that has academic merit and an experience focused on personal growth. We value this contribution, while balancing the need to responsibly manage resources and ensure Mount Royal is sustainable over time.
Collective agreements
Mount Royal has about 1,858 full-time equivalent employees, with most represented by either the Mount Royal Faculty Association (MRFA) or the Mount Royal Staff Association (MRSA). The University’s Board of Governors engages in collective bargaining with both the MRFA and MRSA.
Collective agreements for each of the MRFA and MRSA have a term of July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2028. The negotiation process is set out within each agreement and under the Alberta Relations Labour Code.
Our goal is to reach agreements that are fair for everyone based on the interests brought forward to the negotiation tables and typical of public sector settlement trends in Alberta.
We will keep the campus informed of developments, while respecting that negotiations are confidential. Notifications of updates can be found on mru.ca/bargaining and are included in the Our Community e-newsletter.

The university is committed to addressing conflict in the work environment in a fair, timely and respectful way — although, not every issue will necessitate a formal investigation. Learn more about the investigation process.
If you are an employee and believe you have been the victim of harassment or bullying at work, log into the Safety at Mount Royal page on the HR Info Hub for the appropriate contacts.
If you are not an employee, and believe you have been the victim of harassment or bullying by an MRU employee, visit the Policies & Procedures page and search “Procedure for Reporting Workplace Violence or Harassment.” To report an incident, fill out the Workplace Violence and Harassment Incident Report Form.
