New Brunswick: STU faculty end strike

CBC: Semester extended as STU students, profs return to classes

St. Thomas University in Fredericton will be extending its semester by 11 days, as students and professors return to the classroom on Tuesday.

The university and its faculty association agreed to settle a strike through binding arbitration on Saturday.

Wages and workload have been key issues in the labour dispute, which began on Dec. 27 when the university locked out its professors. The administration lifted the lockout in January, but by then the teaching staff had voted to strike.
