Tell Doug Ford:
Workers and students are united for fair education.
We are the workers and students united.
As college and university workers, as well as community members and neighbours, we are all part of the student movement.

Premier Ford,
Your government’s two-tiered post-secondary education funding model continues to place us at the bottom amongst provinces, while transferring the burden of paying for education onto students and families who are already struggling.
Graduates will be saddled with even more debt, setting them up for “failure to launch” futures at a time of rising unemployment and a changing job market.
We do not accept their race to the bottom. Our strength is our solidarity: collective action is how we won in the past and it will be how we will win tomorrow!
We are calling on you to:
- Raise college and university funding to the national average on a permanent, per-student basis;
- Establish a grant-based OSAP model which sets graduates up for success;
- Reverse the tuition increase and return to a funding model prioritizing provincial investment.
Sincerely,
