UOITFA members have been bargaining for six months, and have requested action on issues such as workload, mental health, pay equity, and pension issues. The UMFA has set November 2 as a strike deadlinee. CBC says the University of Manitoba indicated last week that it was aiming to conclude a collective agreement with the bargaining team.
