The Association of McGill Professors of Law have been on strike since Aug. 26.
Striking McGill law professors have decided to suspend their walkout pending a meeting with an arbitrator scheduled for Oct. 8.
“McGill and AMPL have agreed to suspend the strike until the next meeting with the arbitrator on Oct. 8,” wrote Robert Leckey, dean of the law faculty, in a message to law students on behalf of McGill and the Association of McGill Professors of Law Monday morning.
“During this period, the parties will work towards finding a federated approach between various professors’ unions to negotiate collective agreements with the university.”
He added that suspended classes would resume “no later than” Oct. 3.
In an upbeat statement, AMPL President Evan Fox-Decent said, “This is a win for everyone at McGill. Through our first collective agreement, we will set a pattern that will serve all McGill professors, students, and staff into the future.”
