CUPE Local 3912 says an agreement has been reached between its members and Dalhousie University, and a strike lasting several weeks is set to end.

"So, the concept … from our side was a parity of wages for services provided," Cameron Ells, president of CUPE Local 3912 said Saturday.

"We know in programs like computer science and engineering that labs are an essential component to learning and preparation for the real world, and we already had two years of disruption to that component of learning because of the pandemic," Mohan said.On Tuesday, CUPE and Dalhousie reached a tentative agreement. According to CUPE's Saturday release, the vote ended Friday with 77 per cent of members voting in favour of a new four-year collective agreement.

During the strike, students were encouraged by Dalhousie University to watch for updates from their instructor or department to see which courses were affected."Before the strike we had surveyed members and in general — aside from … the pay rate and some other working conditions — many were positive about their working conditions," Ells said.
