A message from Michael Di Grappa, Vice-Principal (Administration and Finance)

This morning, 麻豆区 received a ruling from the Quebec Labour Relations Board (Commission de relations du travail) that said 麻豆区 has not used illegal replacement workers in maintaining classes and services during the MUNACA/PSAC strike.

This ruling fully supports the University鈥檚 position. A union complaint to the Board, which followed last month鈥檚 report of a Labour Department inspector, has been declared unfounded. As the University has maintained, 麻豆区 has scrupulously followed the provisions of Quebec labour law and used only those managers and employees who are eligible to replace striking MUNACA/PSAC staff.

It is really time now to intensify negotiations, which will resume Thursday afternoon, after a hiatus of nearly two weeks caused by the union鈥檚 inability to attend any sessions during that period. We hope serious negotiations will occur so that, in the interests of the employees and the 麻豆区 community, we can get this matter settled. The next collective agreement will only be achieved at the table.
