This
could have a major effect on students and staff alike...... the
Association of University of New Brunswick Teachers has voted to set a
strike deadline of January 13th.
If it goes ahead, the strike
would be a first for UNB--there's never been a faculty strike at the
school in its 230 year history.
It would effect more than 800 full time and part time staff.
The key
issues are compensation and working conditions comparable to other
similarly-sized universities according to the Teacher's Association.
The association is working to arrange a general membership meeting for Thursday after which more details could come out.
