A possible agreement has been reached between York University and approximately 3,000 academic workers who went on strike at the end of February. The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) local 3903, which represents the striking workers, confirmed the tentative deal with the employer on Sunday evening. This marks the first time in seven weeks that a potential resolution is in sight for the workers on strike at York University. The strike, which began on February 26, involved contract faculty, teaching and graduate assistants, research assistants, and part-time librarians, resulting in the halt of courses for numerous students. Specific details of the tentative agreement have not been disclosed as the union is awaiting ratification. The union emphasized that workers have been seeking a contract that addresses matters related to affordability, job security, and workplace equity.
