Western faculty vote 91% in favour of strike

October 6, 2022
The University of Western Ontario Faculty Association members have voted 91% in favour of strike action "if necessary," as negotiations with Western University continue. UWOFA stated that this show of support strengthens their ability to negotiate for better provisions for the recognition of faculty, equitable workloads, health and wellness, and job security. Last month, the union stated that the university had declined 20 of its 55 proposals, while another 20 had not received a response prior to the strike vote. The union represents 1,500 faculty and 50 librarians and archivists at the university. CBC | CTV News | London Free Press (ON)
