McGill withdraws legal challenge of law faculty union, strike concludes

McGill University has withdrawn its legal challenge against the unionization of its law faculty. In so doing, McGill has officially recognized the Association of McGill Professors of Law (AMPL), along with two other professors’ unions: the Association of McGill Professors of Education and the Association of McGill Professors of the Faculty of Arts. These three unions will form a confederation to negotiate common working conditions. In exchange for this recognition, AMPL has agreed to officially end its unlimited strike, which had been ongoing for over a month. In a joint statement, McGill and AMPL expressed their commitment to a “new path forward.”
