Faculty association members at Brandon University have given their union a strong strike mandate if a new contract can not be ironed out with the school.
Almost 87 per cent of the 268 professors that cast ballots over the weekend were in favour of job action in efforts to finalize a new deal.
According to an article in the Brandon Sun, the association is proposing overall wage increases totaling between seven and eight per cent on a three-year deal, or twelve per cent over a four-year deal.
They are also seeking improvements to pension levels.
The association has been without a new contract since March 31st of last year.
