Classes cancelled at VIU
Classes have been cancelled today at four Vancouver Island University campuses, included Cowichan.
And the same situation is expected to be repeated tomorrow in what is expected to be a two-day walkout.
Pickets are expected starting at 7 a.m. as the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 1858 joins job action planned for several B.C. post-secondary schools in connection with an ongoing contract dispute with the provincial government.
The official notice from the university website is here. More on the dispute here.
