Most Dal classes cancelled as DFA rejects arbitration

Most classes at Dalhousie University have been cancelled due to the labour dispute between the university and the Dalhousie Faculty Association, report CBC and City News . On Friday, Dal reported that the DFA had declined the offer of interest arbitration and shared that the two parties had reached “an impasse on faculty wages.” The union has also reportedly filed a complaint with the labour board. Dalhousie Student Union President Maren Mealey highlighted the scale of the impact, saying that about 90% of the classes at the university are taught by DFA members. CBC reports that classes taught by instructors who are not members of the union are proceeding.
