Faculty, academic librarians, and counsellors represented by the Laurentian University Faculty Association (LUFA) have been on strike since Monday, January 19th.

The strike comes after several months of negotiations, including a mediation process that ended Sunday, January 18, having failed to break the impasse. In November 2025, the faculty, librarians and counsellors who make up the LUFA membership voted 98 per cent in favour of a strike mandate.

The St. Francis Xavier Association of University Teachers is pleased to stand with our LUFA colleagues by making a donation of $1000.00 to support their efforts to achieve a fair and equitable agreement.
