Professors begin indefinite general strike at Quebec City’s Université Laval | 24CA News

An indefinite basic strike is underway at Quebec City’s Université Laval, the place almost 1,300 professors are off the job.

The unionized professors went on strike Monday after a negotiation blitz between administration and their union didn’t end in a brand new contract.

The most up-to-date collective settlement expired on Dec. 1, and the union has made quite a lot of calls for together with equitable distribution of positions, higher administrative helps, higher work-life steadiness and workload administration.

The union members voted 94.5 per cent in favour of a strike mandate throughout a gathering on March 2, when almost three-quarters of members have been current.

The college has posted on its web site a listing of programs and actions that might be affected by the strike.
