Members of the Lecturers’ Union of Memorial University (LUMUN) have “overwhelmingly” ratified a tentative agreement with the university.
Union spokesperson Alison Coffin says voter turnout was high for the vote, but she did not provide numbers.
“With great thanks to our members, we have made great strides,” she said.

Coffin said it’s now up to MUN’s Board of Regents to “expeditiously ratify the agreement.”
“We expect there to be no further delays in finalizing a new collective agreement for LUMUN members,” she added. “Our members stand united in wanting fairness for lecturers at Memorial, and this contract represents good progress on that front.
“There is still work to be done though, and we will continue to fight in our next round of negotiations. Our job is to teach, and our passion for teaching and pride in our work is evident, especially during these past few weeks.”
Details of the agreement won’t be released until it’s accepted by both parties.
