Conestoga College has issued layoff and reassignment notices to approximately 180 support staff, reports CBC. OPSEU Local 238 President Vikki Poirier told Cambridge Today that staff were informed during a webinar on Tuesday and that affected staff fall into three categories: probationary employees whose positions have ended, employees reassigned to other roles, and employees laid off with 90-day recall eligibility. Cambridge Today reports that this is the most recent round of layoffs as the college responds to fiscal and enrolment challenges. Poirier described the day as “emotional” and emphasized the essential role support staff play in student services and operations.
