U of King’s College, teaching association ratify deal, avoid strike

The University of King’s College and the University of King’s College Teaching Association (UKCTA) have reached an agreement, avoiding potential labour unrest at the institution. After the two sides failed to reach a deal on Tuesday, UKCTA indicated that some teaching staff would begin their strike on Thursday at noon. However, a collective agreement was reached and ratified on both sides Thursday morning, averting the strike. “We recognize the important contribution Faculty Fellows and Senior Fellows make to the Foundation Year Program and thank the King’s community for its patience during this period of uncertainty,” said U of King’s College VP Tim Currie.
