NSCC Strike Averted

Nova Scotia Community College and the Nova Scotia Teachers Union have reached a tentative collective averting a strike scheduled for tomorrow. A date for a ratification vote by the membership will be confirmed soon. Details of the agreement will not be available until the agreement has been ratified. There are Community College campuses in Bridgewater and Shelburne.

Quotes from News Release:

This has been a very difficult set of negotiations and the NSTU has worked diligently to arrive at a tentative agreement and avoid a strike,” says NSTU president Alexis Allen. “We feel this is the best deal possible for our members. The goodwill and spirit of cooperation shown between the NSTU and the College during this trying time have greatly assisted in reaching this agreement.”

“I am so grateful to our employees, students and partners who have demonstrated such a strong commitment to learning under enormous pressure,” says NSCC President Joan McArthur-Blair. “We must now ensure our NSTU colleagues have time to consider and vote on this tentative agreement while continuing to deliver the first-rate education our students deserve.”
