Conciliation works
The Adminstration called for conciliation in August of 1990. This time, the concilation process worked and the two sides were able to come to an agreement on a new contract. The Gazette reported in September of 1990 that the main problem was admin not talking about non-monetary issues. After the first few concilation meetings, talks didn't seem to be going well, but it was settled at the end of September. The last strike before 1990 was in 1988, and students were locked out for 20 days. -
DFA on strike
The DFA went on strike over negotiating a contract that would improve wages and working conditions of professors and counselors, according to a Nov. 13 issue of the Gazette. Faculty voted 81% in favour of a strike Feb. 18-20, 1998. Conciliation failed, and the strike lasted a week, ending Apr. 1. 18 students filed small claims lawsuits against the DFA and admin presidents during that week, which an Apr. 2 Gazette says helped put pressure on the negotiators. -
