Halifax (04 Feb. 2013) — A strike vote is the next step for members of the Nova Scotia Government and General Employees Union (NSGEU/NUPGE) working at Saint Mary's University after negotiations hit an impasse. Conciliation dates are set for February 11 but workers are hoping to head into those meetings with a strong strike mandate from the membership.

Members are encouraged to be present at either sesssion on February 7, from 4:30 p.m. - 6 p.m. or on February 8 from 12 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. Both meetings and voting will take place in Theatre B, Burke Building at Saint Mary's campus.
