Recent updates have emerged regarding labour negotiations at both King’s University College and McGill University. At King’s, faculty recently voted 96% in favour of a potential strike, with 91% of members turning up to vote. The university and faculty have been in negotiations since April, focusing their discussions on fair compensation, job security, and academic freedom. At McGill, the law professor’s union has accused the university of undermining its right to strike. The McGill Professors of Law union has reportedly asked a Québec Superior Court Judge to overturn an arbitration order–requested by the university–preferring instead to continue negotiations while retaining its right to strike. In an emailed statement, McGill said it is committed to negotiating in good faith.
