The 18-day strike at the University of Windsor ended Oct. 4 as the board of governors and faculty union voted to ratify a new col­lective agreement.

The agreement addresses many of the union’s concerns, including a 20% increase over three years to the per course stipend, the protection of annual increments and mea­sures designed to address employment equity. Windsor’s striking aca­demics voted 91% in favour of the three-year deal.

The University of Windsor Faculty Association represents more than 1,000 full and part-time academic staff at the university.
