Bargaining Bulletin #10: Thursday, May 1 is International Workers’ Day (May Day) – and it’s also the day we head back to the bargaining table for conciliation.

Toronto, ON – OPSEU/SEFPO, the union representing over 45,000 college faculty and support staff at Ontario’s 24 public colleges, is taking aim at the Ford government following more sweeping program and staffing cuts. The union says that an emergency infusion of $1.4 billion – the government’s own 2024-2025 revenue loss projections for the sector –...

Bargaining Bulletin #8: On Thursday, January 23rd, the College Employer Council (CEC) filed for conciliation, a process either side can initiate through the Ministry of Labour to appoint a third-party conciliation officer to try and help the parties reach a settlement. Once a conciliator is appointed, the parties will book conciliation dates together – which...
