O’Donnell says if ratified, U of L faculty could return to work as early as Tuesday and classes could resume by Wednesday.

ULFA has about 500 members, who all went on strike as of Feb. 10, 2022; the association’s contract ended in July 2020.

The two parties entered mediation to try to settle the terms of a future collective agreement earlier this week.
