Conciliation talks between Dalhousie University and the Dalhousie Faculty Association (DFA) have reportedly reached an impasse, triggering a 14-day countdown to a potential strike or lockout. A final conciliation session is set for August 11, with job action possible by August 12. While DFA members voted 91% in favour of a strike mandate in July, DFA President David Westwood told the The Chronicle Herald that the union has no intention of striking in August and remains focused on negotiation. In a statement to CBC, Dal explained that it cannot meet the union’s wage proposal in light of the scale of expense reductions that it needs to undertake in the coming years, but it remains hopeful that an agreement can be reached.
