Law professors at McGill University have ended their strike after the university agreed to drop its legal challenge against their union.
The Association of McGill Professors of Law (AMPL) have been on strike August 26. They paused that strike last Tuesday, following a threat from the university to cancel class for the fall semester.
On Monday, the university signed a memorandum of understanding to make that pause permanent. It committed to ending its legal challenge against AMPL, as well as fledgling unions in the faculties of arts and education, and establishing a process for collective bargaining with its faculty unions.
McGill put out a statement announcing what it called a “new path forward.” The university thanked “students and colleagues for their patience as academic and administrative activities resume.”
CKUT spoke to AMPL’s Kirsten Anker about what this means for law professors and unions across campus.
