The University of Victoria could face job action this fall by more than 1,300 support staff who work in the library, prepare food, provide child care and look after the grounds.

The employees, who have been without a contract since March 31, 2010, served strike notice on June 25. They are gearing up for possible work disruptions as students return to class in September.
