University of Sudbury and Faculty Union reach tentative settlement

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.”
