Strike: Day one

Our first-ever strike day was full of energy and solidarity and will certainly remain an important day in the union's history.

Your negotiation committee remains determined to come to an agreement with Concordia's administration. As mentioned before, we are available at any time to meet with the employer to come to a satisfying tentative agreement.

Don't forget to bring your flag, your bells and whistles, your umbrella, your sunscreen, a water bottle and all other necessary strike items!

Coming up this week :
