Prince George, B.C. -Arbitrator Stan Lanyon, QC  will meet with both parties in the UNBC – Faculty contract  dispute over the summer,   and hearings are now set for  the late fall.

The UNBC Faculty Association’s two-week strike in March was ended when the UNBC Administration applied for mediation under Section 55, which lays out a special process for first collective agreements. At the conclusion of that process, Board-appointed mediator Trevor Sones recommended that the parties refer the matter to binding arbitration.

Arbitrator Lanyon   will hold hearings on the 19, 20th 21st and 30th of November and on December 7th.

“We look forward to meeting with Mr Lanyon to present our positions and evidence,” said Dr Ted Binnema, Chief Negotiator of the Faculty Association.
