On September 9th, your College Faculty bargaining team will be back at the table for the first bargaining date in the new fall semester.
Let’s make sure that we send the Colleges a strong message: the workers training the workers of tomorrow are united in our fight for a fair contract! We’re fighting for a better college system, recognizing that student learning conditions are faculty working conditions.
On September 9th, we invite all members to participate in a Provincial Day of Action:
- Wear purple or yellow in the workplace! Post photos with your colleagues to social media using the hashtag #TrainingOntariosFuture.
- Contact your Local to find out if a Day of Action event is happening on your campus (e.g. drop-in sessions, lunch & learn, GMM).
- Join colleagues across the province in celebrating our work, Training Ontario’s Future! There is much to be proud of in the work we do preparing students for meaningful careers in their communities.
- Talk to your colleagues about the proposals currently on the table. You can find an easy-to-follow bargaining proposal breakdown here.
We are strongest when we work towards a future together – it’ll take every one of us. Let’s start off the semester strong and ensure that not only is every one of your colleagues informed, but also engaged – ready to take part in the fight and turn up the heat!
Solidarity with our Part-Time Support Colleagues in Bargaining
College faculty are not the only ones heading back to the table in early September – the same week, our college support part-time colleagues are also back in bargaining. Let’s join CAAT-S PT members in wearing blue on Wednesday, September 11th to send a strong message of support that we stand behind Part-Time Power!
Take a photo with your colleagues in your best blues! You can forward your solidarity photos to [email protected].
