On Thursday afternoon, 7 November 2013, WLUFA requested a ‘No Board Report’ from the Ontario Ministry of Labour after two full days of conciliation with the provincially-appointed conciliator.
At the end of the second day of conciliation, Monday 4 November 2013, it was made clear to the CAS Negotiating Team that, despite our attempts to accommodate its demands, the Administration was refusing to move from an unacceptable offer and conciliation was at an impasse. This left us with no choice but to request a “No-Board report”. The CAS Negotiating Team brought forward the recommendation to the WLUFA Executive on Thursday morning. The Executive voted in favour of requesting a “No-Board report” from the Ministry.
WLUFA is committed to ensuring that CAS faculty are fairly compensated for the responsibility of delivering half of Laurier students’ educational experience in the classroom.
