College faculty from local 556 were overwhelmed by the energy and inspiring solidarity at today’s student solidarity rally to support the picket line at George Brown College. The message to the college presidents, the College Employer Council, and Minister Deb Mathews was that faculty are voting NO on the forced contract offer. It’s time for Council to get back to the bargaining table, and negotiate a contract that delivers fairness, good jobs, and quality education for half a million college students across Ontario.
