The union representing striking support workers at Carleton University has filed a complaint with the Ontario Labour Relations Board, accusing the university's administration of unfair labour practices. "We are calling out the university's administration for bargaining in bad faith," wrote Jacynthe Barbeau, a negotiator for CUPE 2424, in a statement released late Tuesday evening. About 800 support staff at Carleton have been on strike since March 5 in a dispute largely to do with pension benefits. University will defend itself, spokesperson saysThe university has not asked to return to the bargaining table, according to the union, which also accused Carleton of suggesting otherwise. On Wednesday, a Carleton spokesperson said the school will defend itself against the complaint and believes it will be found without merit.
