MUNACA workers head back to work

Today is the first day that support workers at MCGill University head back to work after more that three months of strike.

Monday saw 71.5 per cent of MUNACA workers voted yes to the new contract.

Workers will now have a 2.6 to 3.2 per cent wage increase a year. Initially, they were offered an increase of 1.2 per cent. This pay rise will now allow workers to get the maximum pay in 12 years instead of 37.

The MUNACA strike affected many services on campus, such as laboratory and clerical support, registration, and student residence management.

According to a spokesperson for the union, members are relieved and happy that the strike is over.
