Concordia professional workers adopt two-week strike mandate

The Concordia University Professional Employees Union–which is a part of the Confédération des syndicats nationaux–recently adopted a two-week strike mandate that will be issued at a later date. In a press release, the union indicated that it may exercise the mandate at the beginning of the new academic year in the Fall. The union represents 600 workers at Concordia University in information technology, communications, counselling, psychology and other sectors. They have cited teleworking as the key issue behind this decision.
