The Chronicle Journal: Faculty group to fight university shutdown
Any financial savings Lakehead University realizes by an “unanticipated” four-day shutdown just before this Christmas will be eaten up in a legal battle at the province‘s labour relations board, warns the association that represents LU‘s 300 instructors.
“I don‘t think they‘ll save that much, because if it goes to a (board) hearing you will have hundreds of thousands of dollars spent by both parties,” Lakehead University Faculty Association chief negotiator Gerald Phillips said Friday.
LUFA is vowing to fight the pre-Christmas shutdown – which will result in a loss of pay for most LU employees – because it says the move violates the collective agreement it has with the university.
