The Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU)—which represents more than 45,000 college faculty and support staff—is calling on the Government of Ontario to provide a $1.4B emergency infusion to stabilize the college system. Speaking to CBC, OPSEU President JP Hornick commented on the recent programming cuts at colleges that have been coupled with staffing losses: “These are good jobs in the communities, but more than that, we are actually training the workers in these sectors that Ontario needs.” She added that the union has been raising concerns about the college system’s lack of funding for years. The College Student Alliance is also calling for ON’s political parties to ensure that their election platforms prioritize postsecondary funding.
