The University of Manitoba Faculty Association (UMFA) has reached a tentative agreement with the university’s administration in order to avoid a strike.
The tentative agreement was reached early Saturday and UMFA’s members will vote to approve the deal on Thursday, March 13.
“I am delighted that we were able to arrive at a tentative agreement that improves our members’ working conditions without disrupting our students’ education,” said UMFA president Erik Thomson.
Full details of the tentative settlement will be released to members early next week.
UMFA represents 1,300 professors, instructors and librarians at the University of Manitoba.
