STRIKE POSTPONED

My stomach is still doing flip flops! I got the e-mail from BUFA President Barry Grant last night at 8:15 to announce that the strike date has been pushed back.

Unfortunately, there has been a death in the immediate family of the mediator and as a result, he cannot attend for the planned full day of mediation on Sunday December 3rd. Instead, the full 24 hours of mediation will now take place on Tuesday December 5, the Negotiating Team will report back to the BUFA Executive on Wednesday December 6, and any strike action necessary will take place on Thursday December 7 at the earliest.

Check out the details on the BUFA website at: http://bufaweb.com

This means, of course, that all exams scheduled for December 5th, and 6th will now go ahead as scheduled, as well as those that were already running on the 4th.

What a relief for those students who were on pins and needles, wondering whether they would sit their exam or not on those days!
