Strike Continues at NOSM


Talks between the Northern Ontario School of Medicine and

striking members of OP-SEU will continue later this month.

The talks ended Friday with limited progress and an agreement to
meet again starting September 14th.

Both sides agreed to a media blackout over the talks.

Some of the outstanding issues include hours of work, sick leave,
contracting out, family leaves and wages.

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