Carleton union gets strike mandate for September 5

Staff at Carleton University have voted 94% in favour of going on strike if no deal is reached with administration.  The staff will be in a legal strike position as of September 5.  A CUPE national representative states, "Carleton’s administration has a habit of pushing things to the wire, dragging their heels and refusing to make serious attempts to settle contracts until faced with strike or lockout."  CUPE News Release
