“We are disappointed, as the strike by our employees who are CUPE 1975 members will continue,” said University of Saskatchewan President, Peter MacKinnon. “On Friday, the Universities will meet with the conciliator to discuss next steps. We will continue to do our best to mitigate the impact of the strike on students and others who rely on University services.”

The University is reviewing its longer-term contingency plan for implementation. Decisions will be made available in the near future about how operations will continue.
