Strike at NOSM continues

Contract talks between the North Ontario School of Medicine and

the union representing more than 150 workers have broken off.

OPSEU local 677 says the talks collapsed yesterday after four
days of mediation.

The union says a bit of progress was made, but there's no word when talks might resume.

Outstanding issues include contracting out, transfers to alternate locations, hours of work, overtime and wages.

The administrative, technical and clerical staff work at campuses at Laurentian University in Sudbury and Lakehead University in Thunder Bay and satellite campuses in Timmins and Sault Ste. Marie.
