Queen’s, UQAM, UOttawa reach tentative agreements with unions

Queen’s University, Université du Québec à Montréal, and the University of Ottawa have each reached tentative agreements with unions on their respective campuses. The agreement between Queen’s and the CUPE Locals 229, 254, and 1302—which represent over 1,000 tradespeople, technicians, library workers, and caretakers across campus—prevents a strike that was planned for February. Similarly, at UQAM, the Syndicat des professeures et professeur enseignants de UQAM has cancelled an indefinite strike that would have affected 2,100 lecturers. UOttawa and the Association of Professors of the University of Ottawa also settled on a tentative deal: If members accept the agreement at a vote later this month, this will avert a potential strike.
