TBU SENIORITY LISTS

Members make frequent requests for up-to-date seniority lists, but must be aware that the board does not provide the bargaining unit with an updated list after each hire, transfer, or retirement. 

The TBU Collective Agreement states that “The seniority list shall be posted in all work locations and copies forwarded to the President of the Bargaining Unit no later than October 31 and March 1 of each school year” (15.05.01). 

The TBU Seniority Lists below are the most recent we have received from the board: February 28, 2022. 

To protect members' privacy, these documents are password-protected. Members can find the password in the most recent newsletter, which has been emailed to you.
