Strike Timing

It is not clear if or when a strike will occur. AUFA continues to bargain in the hope of reaching an agreement. AUFA has set a deadline of March 15, 2022, as its strike readiness deadline (i.e., the earliest date that AUFA will be ready to strike).

Prior to serving strike notice, AUFA must complete formal mediation with AU, vote on any recommendation made by the mediator, conduct a strike vote, and issue 72 hours of strike notice. At any time during this process or a strike or a lockout, the parties can continue bargaining and achieve a new agreement.
