WLUSA/OSSTF members recently voted at our annual AGM to formally offer our support to WLUFA members in their ongoing negotiations. We reiterate that support here as they go through this difficult time.
In an interesting twist, the university posted an update on their Labour site May 10th, the University has “declined this request” (the request for Mediation/Arbitration):

and has asked the Ministry of Labour to ask for a “No Board” report.
