The AAU is aware of recent updates regarding the implementation of compensation resulting from the court ruling on Bill 148.
As noted by the NSTU, the Province is responsible for establishing a process that will allow eligible current and former employees to update their contact and banking information. That process has not yet been finalized, and there is no need for individuals to contact the NSTU at this time. The Province is expected to make a list of eligible recipients available by June 30, 2027. Details regarding how individuals will be able to check their eligibility are still being determined.
AAU President Neil Cody has been in contact with Peter Day, President of the NSTU, as well as College representatives regarding next steps. The College is currently working through employee records to identify affected current and former employees. Once the provincial and NSTU processes are in place, the College's work will be aligned with those procedures to help ensure that all eligible current and former employees affected by the Bill 148 court ruling receive the compensation to which they are entitled.
We will continue to monitor developments and will provide updates to members as further information becomes available.
