(Ottawa – 8 November, 2017) The University Of Ontario Institute Of Technology Faculty Association has reached a tentative agreement between its teaching faculty members and the administration just ahead of a strike deadline.

Details of the agreement will remain confidential pending ratification. The main issues at stake in negotiations were compensation and workload.
