The Chronicle Herald: Strike saved Acadia $1 million in payroll costs, union says

Acadia University faculty lost over $1 million in salary during their three-week strike, and the school may put the money toward a credit for students in the second semester.

The strike cost the 314 professors, instructors and librarians $57,000 a day, or almost $1.2 million, spokesman Andrew Biro of the Acadia University Faculty Association said Friday.
