MUNUCA strike negotiations suspended

Negotiations between the McGill University Non-Academic Certified Association and senior administration have reached a stalemate.

During a Friday night meeting, the conciliator postponed talks after stating that the two groups’ views on wages were too extreme from each other.

Union members want a three percent wage increase, while the administration is only willing to raise it by 1.2 percent.

In a statement released on Sunday, McGill vice-principal Michael Di Grappa stated that there have been no dates set to resume talks.

McGill’s support staff union has been on strike since September.

Some of the services the 3,000 non-academic employees provide are course registration, laboratory and clerical support, and student residence management.
