The Cord: University reaches tentative deal with full-time faculty

At approximately 3:00 am Friday morning, Wilfrid Laurier University reached a tentative deal with the Wilfrid Laurier University Faculty Association (WLUFA), the union that represents the full-time faculty.

According to Kevin Crowley, director of communications at Laurier, the agreement must be ratified by the university’s Board of Governors and members of WLUFA. This decision comes one day shy of the legal strike date of the union — if they chose to go on strike or if the administration decided to lockout— and after two full days of collective bargaining with the assistance of a provincial mediator.

The Record: Laurier could face strike by faculty in early March

WATERLOO — Full-time faculty at Wilfrid Laurier University will be in a legal strike position on March 3 if a contract settlement isn’t reached with the university.

The Wilfrid Laurier University Faculty Association said Wednesday that 520 members approved a strike mandate with a 91 per cent vote last Friday. The group includes 19 librarians. Their contract ran out on July 1.

Main issues include salaries and pensions, both sides said.
