# Strike averted – academic activities continue

![Seneca](https://inside.senecacollege.ca/images/seneca_logo.png)

**TO:** All students and employees 
**FROM:** David Agnew, President 
**RE:** Strike averted – academic activities continue

* * *

I am pleased to announce that OPSEU, the union representing professors, counsellors and librarians, and the College Employer Council have agreed to enter into binding interest arbitration and the strike has been called off.

All academic activities, including classes and labs, will continue as scheduled tomorrow, Friday, March 18.

I know this has been an anxious time for our students and employees as we awaited the outcome of today’s bargaining session. Thank you for your understanding, and my best wishes as you complete the term.
