Mediation will begin on Saturday for Acadia University and the Acadia University Faculty Association.
Labour, Skills and Immigration Minister Jill Balser has appointed Mediator William Kaplan to help reach a settlement in their labour dispute.
“We know this situation has been stressful for the Acadia University community,” said Minister Balser. “I feel it’s time to appoint a mediator to help resolve the parties’ differences. Mr. Kaplan is an experienced mediator with a proven track record.”
Faculty went on strike February 1.
Mediation is a non-binding tool used to help parties reach a settlement.
The Province previously appointed Kaplan as Industrial Inquiry Commissioner in the labour dispute between the Halifax Herald and Halifax Typographical Union in 2017.
