Immediately following the results of the MAFA strike vote last Tuesday evening MAFA contacted the provincially appointed mediator to arrange meetings with the administration so that the parties can begin the work of reaching a settlement as soon as possible. MAFA offered available times on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. MAFA was told by the mediator that the administration is unable to return to the bargaining table until this coming Monday, January 20th. A meeting between MAFA and the administration is now confirmed for that day beginning at 9am.
