Sessional instructors will not strike on Monday, after their union, CUPE 3902, reached a tentative settlement with U of T on Sunday morning at 2:45 a.m.
Details of the agreement cannot be revealed until they are ratified by the union.
“Preparations will soon begin for the ratification vote,” said Leslie Jermyn, bargaining spokesperson for CUPE 3902. “The team will be recommending, as we have to by law, that the members accept the deal.” The ratification meeting is expected to occur this week.
“I think sessionals by and large are feeling a great deal of relief because so many of us were facing a situation where we had to put our students in the middle of something,” Jermyn said.
The union had asked for an eight per cent raise per year for the next two years, better job security, and more research funding.
