University of Winnipeg faculty voted in favour of a strike deadline on Wednesday, with a picket line planned as soon as next week.

On Wednesday, most of the 350 members of the University of Winnipeg Faculty Association voted to set a strike deadline of 12:01 a.m. on Wednesday, March 9. The vote passed with 90 per cent support, said UWFA president Kristine Hansen on Wednesday night. "We’re certainly firm about that strike deadline if significant progress hasn’t been made," Hansen said.

The university and the UWFA bargaining group, which represents the U of W’s academic faculty, librarians, coaches and counselors, will be back at the bargaining table today.

Hansen declined to discuss details of the two sides’ positions, citing a UWFA guideline not to bargain through the media.
