The union representing more than 1,700 York University faculty, librarians and archivists warns there is a potential of a strike or lockout just two weeks before fall classes begin if a new agreement with the administration is not reached.
York University and the York University Faculty Association (YUFA) have been negotiating since April over a new agreement after the current one expired on April 30. On Aug. 2, over 92 per cent of YUFA’s members approved a strike mandate in a vote that had an almost 84 per cent turnout.
