BRANDON — A Brandon University faculty strike has been averted after inroads were made toward a new collective agreement.
Grant Hamilton, the university’s director of marketing and communications, told the Brandon Sun on Monday that BU and its faculty association were continuing negotiations.
An update posted to the Brandon University website on Sunday stated, “Our thanks go to the members of both bargaining teams, who worked late into many evenings and through weekends to bridge major gaps towards a deal that is fair for all.
“All key issues have been, or are well on the way to being, resolved at the table. Talks will resume this week, and we expect to wrap up final negotiations in the near future.”
The faculty was pleased not to have to take strike action, faculty association member Allison McCulloch said Monday.
“A strike is always the last resort,” McCulloch said. “We would much rather be in the classroom with our students, so there’s a sense of relief that we can continue to deliver high quality education without interruption.”
Faculty members have been without a contract since March 31, 2023.
