Faculty union demands refused in Ontario -- possible strike

Management has put forward its final offer in negotiations with the union representing faculty in 24 Ontario colleges.  The union charges management with "misinformation" and "double-speak" in their communications with the college community and public.

OPSEU Launches Radio Campaign

With 24 colleges in Ontario in contract negotiations and strike authorization in place should negotiations fail, the Ontario Public Service Employees Union has launched a radio ad campaign to inform the public of one primary issue at stake in bargaining -- the needs of contract (or adjunct/part-time) faculty.

"The union’s first radio ad will focus on the plight of thousands of contract faculty who are paid far less than the negotiated rate for full-time permanent faculty and have no job security beyond the next semester."

In addition, on October 2, contract faculty began voting on whether or not to join OPSEU:
