Canadian Press: Striking Brandon University faculty against premier’s idea of binding arbitration
BRANDON, Man. – Brandon University’s faculty association is saying no to Premier Gary Doer’s suggestion of sending a labour dispute with the school to binding arbitration.
The strike and lockout over money and other issues has kept about 3,200 students out of classes since Sept. 29.
Bruce Forrest, a spokesman for the association, says they still believe the two sides can reach a settlement at the bargaining table.
