UPDATE----The union representing the University of Manitoba Faculty (UMFA) has authorized a strike.
UMFA said today that 85 percent of their members who voted approved of the strike action.
UMFA is asking for wages more in line with other universities in the country at the negotiating table.
UMFA president Orvie Dingwall says that these results don't mean a strike will be called but that the current talks between the administration and faculty aren't working.
UMFA represents more than 1,200 professors, instructors and librarians at the University.
