The UNBC Faculty Association has given 72-hour strike notice at the Prince George university.

The association represents the teaching staff at the University of Northern British Columbia.

The UNBCFA serves the interests of almost 500 full- and part-time members at UNBC’s Prince George and regional campuses.

All faculty employed by UNBCFA, including tenured and tenure-track faculty members, senior lab instructors, librarians, and contract academic staff in all categories, are automatic members, which acts as the sole bargaining agent for all UNBC-FA members, negotiating the terms and conditions of their employment.

“We remain hopeful for respectful negotiations that will lead to a fair contract for all UNBCFA members and guarantee the future success of UNBC and all its amazing students,” says the association in a social media post.

The two parties have been negotiating since March of this year.

UNBC has not yet commented on the strike notice.
