Striking York U workers not pleased with new offer

Toronto - The union representing more than 3,000 striking York University workers is not impressed with a new offer from management.

A union spokesperson called it a step back, and one that isn't likely to end the two-month old strike.

University officials said the new offer is worth almost 11 per cent more over three years than previous proposals.

The union will present the proposal at a membership meeting Thursday, but it's not expected to be put to a vote.

Negotiations are scheduled to resume on Friday.
