UQAM lecturers to launch strike in February

Université du Québec à Montréal lecturers will launch an indefinite strike starting on February 3. The Syndicat des professeures et professeur enseignants de UQAM–which represents 2,100 lecturers–has been in negotiations with the university for more than a year. The negotiating parties have reportedly reached an impasse over workload and issues related to the preparation and supervision of online courses. In a statement for Le Devoir, UQAM said that it hopes to reach an agreement soon. In the event of a strike, classes not taught by members of the union will continue as normal.
