Dear Students,
Based on the results of their recent strike vote, the Yukon University Employees’ Union will be in a legal strike position on March 2, 2026.
In our Monday correspondence, we committed to providing a followup on the potential for labour action to interrupt instructional time.

Dear students,
Yukon University acknowledges that on Jan 13, 2026 its unionized employees, represented by the Public Service Alliance of Canada, voted for a strike mandate.

We will provide updates to students as information become available.
