Sudbury
, ON ~ Picket lines at the
University
of Sudbury
came down today as the University and the Union
representing its faculty reached
a tentative settlement in contract talks.
University
President Andrii Krawchuk said that the negotiating committees for
both sides had worked long hours over the past two weeks to get
to this point. “It took a lot of effort to get this agreement”,
he said.
The
union has said that it will schedule a ratification meeting of its
members for Saturday. No further details will be available until
after that meeting.
Krawchuk
was pleased that the union was taking down its picket lines today.
“We now can focus on ensuring that the start of classes goes as smoothly
as possible for our students. We look forward to a great school year
for the entire university community.”
