Pickets came down Friday evening as faculty and students prepared to return to classes Monday at the University of Northern British Columbia. The union representing faculty decided to suspend their strike action, according to the Terrace Standard, but not without filing a complaint of bad faith bargaining with the provincial Labor Relations Board. The filing came shortly after the province appointed a mediator to bring an end to the strike.
Though faculty said they would be willing to continue negotiations, the mediator called for adjournment. The adjournment combined with the coming end of the semester led faculty to pull down their pickets while they awaited the LRBs decision regarding the bad faith complaint.
