Laurentian Faculty Go on Strike Monday Morning
Faculty cite unresolved contract disputes after financial recovery, with some classes suspended and non-union activities continuing, Laurentian University said.
- Laurentian University in Sudbury saw classes suspended after LUFA members walked off the job Monday, following the Jan. 18 announcement that classes would be paused during the strike.
- LUFA seeks a pension plan outside Laurentian's control, citing sacrifices made during insolvency, while the university says its offer remains fair and sustainable.
- The campus will remain open but classes, labs, and seminars led by faculty will stop temporarily while non-LUFA staff and student services continue, and GOVA detours Routes 3 and 4 off campus with a rally planned at 12 p.m. at the Main Campus entrance.
- Laurentian University said it is committed to supporting students and staff and wants to ensure students can finish their studies, though the outcome depends on the strike's duration.
- After bargaining began Nov. 17, 2025, LUFA had a 98-per-cent strike mandate from the Nov. 15–17, 2025 vote, following a no-board report that started a countdown to strike.
