University of Windsor reverses layoff plans for theatre company staff after union discussions.

The University of Windsor has reconsidered layoff plans for staff at its University Players theatre company, following discussions with CUPE Local 1393.

The university and the union are now working together to explore alternative opportunities and support mechanisms for the affected staff. Layoff notices for the School of Dramatic Arts staff have been rescinded.
