The Amherst Daily: Acadia faculty set to strike today

Last-minute negotiations between Nova Scotia’s Acadia University and its faculty have failed, setting the stage for a strike on Monday.

After several weeks without negotiations, both sides met with a conciliator last week, but no deal was reached.

Talks continued over the weekend to settle the dispute, which has focused on staffing levels and wages, but they broke down again Sunday night.

The 300-member Acadia University Faculty Association, which represents professors, instructors and librarians, voted 84 per cent earlier this month to take job action.
