Medical School Strike nearing an end

Administrative, clerical and technical staff at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine have ratified a tentative contract agreement.


Their union says 78 per cent of members of OPSEU Local 677 who voted approved the deal.

The tentative contract now goes to the medical school's board of directors tomorrow.

If approved by the board it will bring to an end a strike that began August 16 at the school's campuses at Laurentian University in Sudbury and Lakehead University in Thunder Bay.

Details of the agreement will be released pending approval by the medical school's board.
