UPEI Faculty Association strike info: Negoitations-at-a-glance
Radio@UPEI breaking news on UPEI faculty strike
A strike by UPEI’s 375 professors and librarians stretches into a second day today, as talks Tuesday failed to resolve the dispute.
Faculty walked off the job early Tuesday morning.
Picket lines were set up at the two main entrances to the Charlottetown campus, off University Avenue and Belvedere Avenue, by 7:30 a.m.
Picketers were allowing students on the campus and were not interfering with vehicles trying to get onto the campus grounds or to the CARI pool, day-care centres or the clinics at the Atlantic Veterinary College.
Money and workload continue to be the outstanding issues.
The Journal Pioneer: Parent worried about UPEI strike
Summerside resident Bill Martin is a very frustrated and worried parent.
The faculty strike at the University of Prince Edward Island is into its second day today and Martin worries it could drag on for an extended period of time, even affecting his daughter’s chances of getting a summer job.
Blythe has been offered a job this summer, but that job could go to someone else if she isn’t available, said Martin.
Martin said his family had saved for years to allow Blythe to attend university. Blythe is in the second year of her biology program.
Martin added he had hoped the UPEI faculty association and the university would have ironed out their differences by now.
