LUFA has been made aware that an old social media posting about a strike that occurred in 2017 resurfaced earlier this week. This is a hoax. LUFA is currently engaged in bargaining under the Ontario Labour Relations Act and will not comment any further on the issue. / L'APPUL a été informée qu'un ancien affichage sur les médias sociaux concernant une grève qui a eu lieu en 2017 a refait surface au début de la semaine. Il s'agit d'un canular. L'APPUL négocie actuellement dans le cadre de la loi sur les relations de travail de l'Ontario et ne fera pas de commentaires supplémentaires sur cette question.
