Mediation has reached an impasse between the University of Manitoba and its professors.

In a brief statement released on Sunday night, the university said it reached a stalemate with the U of M Faculty Association.

"There will be a further statement from the University of Manitoba issued by noon Monday, Oct. 31," the university said on its website.

"A media blackout remains in effect. Students, staff and faculty are encouraged to visit umanitoba.ca/strikeinfo for more information."

The two sides were in their fourth day of mediation.

The strike deadline is Tuesday at 7 a.m.

Last week, both the university and the professors announced that the Pallister government had told the two sides they should extend their collective agreement by one year at zero per cent to "stabilize" public pay levels.

While the Manitoba Government and General Employees’ Union asked for an emergency meeting with Premier Brian Pallister, Finance Minister Cameron Friesen later said it’s the responsibility of the provincial government to issue parameters to fix the province’s finances.
