Western Librarians and Archivists Ratify Collective Agreement
Unionized members of the UWO Faculty Association Librarians and Archivists bargaining unit voted 36 to 7, or 84% in favour of the deal.
A tentative contract agreement was reached Tuesday, September 20, following a 13-day strike that began September 8.
"I'm pleased to see that the membership has endorsed the deal," said Bryce Traister, UWOFA President. "I'm proud of the resilience they demonstrated during this strike."
The 51 unionized librarians and archivists at Western have been without a contract since June 30, 2011.
