Laurentian University Faculty Settles

The Laurentian University Faculty Association (LUFA) had already set up strike headquarters, made picket signs and rented portable bathrooms Monday evening when union negotiators announced they had reached a tentative agreement with LU administration.

The faculty union representing about 400 professors and librarians was planning to go on strike Oct. 12 if a deal was not reached. The two parties had been engaged in intense “lock-down” negotiations since Oct. 4.
