MUNFA members in favour of strike mandate

The Memorial University of Newfoundland Faculty Association has had a historic turnout for strike mandate voting.

The association said that 93 percent of respondents voted in favour of a strike mandate. The association says it's time for Memorial University to get back to the table and "get serious" about making a fair deal.

Memorial University said in a statement it remains "hopeful that a resolution can be reached through bargaining."

MUN is working on contingency plans to minimize the impacts of any potential strike.
