The University of Windsor and two Unifor units—representing special constables and workers at the Energy Conversion Centre—recently avoided a strike by agreeing to extend their previous collective agreements. Both of the units’ agreements were set to expire on September 1st, just ahead of the start of the Fall term. In his comments to the Windsor Star, Unifor Local 444 President James Stewart acknowledged the university’s deficit and impending change in leadership, as well as the importance of ensuring the safety of students during the first week of school. Unifor Local 2458 Secretary-Treasurer Mike Kisch added that the unions plan to set a new deadline when they meet with incoming UWindsor President JJ McMurtry.
