McGill strike negotiations back on

Negotiations between McGill support staff and the administration are back on. After calling talks off last week, the two groups will meet with a conciliator on Friday.

Members of the McGill University Non-Academic Certified Association (MUNACA) have been on strike since September 1.

Recently the chancellors dinner at McGill was postponed. This dinner is an annual event that celebrates major donors for McGill. It was expected to be even larger this year because it is McGill’s 190th year. The event was postponed till sometime in the Spring.

The administration points to events such as the student strike where police came on campus as reasons for the delay. However MUNACA workers see it as a sign their strikes are working. MUNACA President Kevin Whittaker said they consider the delay a victory.
