The Association of McGill Professors of Law (AMPL) began an unlimited strike yesterday after failing to reach an agreement with McGill University administration over the summer. AMPL VP Kirsten Anker said that the decision to strike was triggered by the university allegedly cancelling four scheduled negotiation sessions. According to the Canadian Press, McGill no longer believed an agreement could be reached without formal arbitration. This is the second AMPL strike this year; the first lasted eight weeks after classes ended in the spring. The Montréal Gazette reports that this strike is expected to be more disruptive than the first, given that it coincides with the return of students to school.
