McGill University Ends Legal Challenge, Concludes Law Faculty Strike

The university agrees to drop its judicial review, allowing law professors to return to work and negotiate collectively with other faculty unions.

McGill University has officially ended its legal challenge against the unionization of its law faculty, concluding a five-week strike.
The resolution involves a joint negotiation agreement with nascent unions in the arts and education faculties, meeting a key demand from McGill.
Law professors had resumed teaching last week but were prepared to strike again if no agreement was reached.
The law faculty union, certified by Quebec's labour tribunal in November 2022, is now set to negotiate its first collective agreement.
McGill will cease challenging the union certifications of the law, arts, and education faculties as part of the agreement.
