Northern School of Medicine announces Lay-offs

A battle is brewing between the Northern Ontario School of Medicine and the Ontario Public Service Employees Union.

The school is eliminating 24 positions in order to balance the budget.

OPSEU Spokesperson Len Mason says they don't intend to take the lay-off notices lying down.

The layoffs affect staff members at campuses at Lakehead University and Laurentian University in Sudbury.
