Members of the Northern Ontario School of Medicine University (NOSM U) Faculty and Staff Association (NUFSA) have voted 100% in favour of a strike mandate as negotiations with the university administration continue.

“NUFSA members’ overwhelming strike mandate is a clear indication that medical education faculty and professional staff are willing to take the measures necessary to protect teaching and learning conditions at NOSM U, up to and including a strike,” said Darrel Manitowabi, NUFSA President, in a media release.
