McGill law professors suspend strike until meeting with arbitrator

McGill University law professors have agreed to suspend their ongoing strike until their next meeting with an arbitrator on October 8. The Association of McGill Professors of Law (AMPL) has been on strike since August, but on Monday, McGill stated it would cancel the semester for law students unless AMPL ended the strike by the day’s end. In response, McGill and AMPL issued a joint statement on Tuesday morning announcing that they had agreed to suspend the strike and resume classes as of October 3. “During this period the parties will try to find a federated approach between the different professor’s unions to negotiate collective agreements with the University,” read the statement, which was shared with CTV News.
