Jan 29, 2008

Negotiations towards the collective agreement have been protracted. On the basis of the motion passed at the general meeting on January 30, 2008, the Executive has decided to conduct a vote which, if passed, will authorize the Executive to call a strike. As required by law, this will be a balloted vote.

There is an information session on:
February 11th, 4:00 pm, MacHall Room 149.
