Unions from McGill University, Université Laval, and the University of Toronto have released strike and bargaining updates. The Association of McGill Professors of Law (AMPL) held a day-long strike yesterday in the wake of ongoing negotiation processes; all classes taught by AMPL professors were cancelled. The Syndicat des chargées et chargés de cours de l’Université Laval announced that it will launch a four-day strike starting this Thursday if no agreement in principle is reached before then. In Toronto, members of the United Steelworkers Local 1998–which represents 3,800 contract workers at the University of Toronto–have voted 90% in favour of adopting a strike mandate in an effort to bolster their demands pertaining to wages and health benefits.
