Details regarding Dalhousie and faculty association agreement expected today

CITYnews halifax / By The Canadian Press

Details are expected today regarding the agreement between Dalhousie University and its faculty association.

The two groups released a joint statement yesterday confirming the nearly month-long labour disruption had come to an end.

The university locked faculty out on Aug. 20, and the nearly 1,000 union members began their strike two days later.

Key issues on the bargaining table have been wage increases and flexible class schedules.

The university has said the faculty would return to work tomorrow if the agreement is ratified.

Classes could resume on Sept 23, but it was not immediately clear whether any other changes would be made to the fall break or the December exam schedule.
