The strike involving 10,000 full-time support staff at Ontario’s 24 public colleges will continue after recent mediation efforts ended without an agreement. In a news release, the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) stated that talks broke down after the College Employer Council (CEC) declined to make changes to job security provisions. The CEC told the Ottawa Citizen that it had tabled an offer exceeding $155M, which included increased wages and additional protections. No date has been set for a return to work.
