"Three-quarters of all faculty in the college system are precarious, and do the majority of the teaching in the system...Over the last 10 years, we’ve added almost 100,000 students, but we’ve only added 500 full-time faculty.” #OntEd #OnLab

"We are very disappointed with the CEC's inability to resolve the issues...We're in this business because we care deeply about the future of education, the future of our workforce. If we can't give all we want to give to the students, that's a problem."

“Over the last decade, we’ve added just under 100,000 students but only 500 full-time faculty ... ,” OPSEU bargaining team chair Ravi Ramkissoonsingh told CTV News earlier this week. “Administrators have grown by three times that much.”

College Faculty are giving five-day notice of beginning labour action. This opens the door to any form of strike action beginning January 9th, 2025. The parties will meet again in non-binding mediation on January 6-7, 2025. #opseu #onpoli #ontariocolleges #strike

The heads of the college system don’t prioritize the state of post-secondary education the way faculty do.
It's time for a better plan for our colleges.

"I am dismayed that this decision was made with zero communication to faculty and staff, who found out Tuesday morning alongside students, and no community consultation."

3/4 of faculty are non-full time workers. They do over half the teaching, contract to contract with ++precarity.
Employment stability helps provides quality learning for students - better for classrooms & our communities where we live & serve🏡🧡

Accepting binding interest arbitration now would mean surrendering the right to strike and relinquishing control over the bargaining process. It's not the right time for binding interest arbitration. Watch this short video to learn more! Special thanks to Local 110. #Solidarity

Binding arbitration locks in dangerous concessions. We won’t give up our right to bargain. #NoToArbitration #FairBargaining #WeSeeThroughIt #TrainingOntariosFuture
OPSEU Sheridan College Local 244 retweeted
Graham, the CEC, and college presidents never put students first when they fight against having more counsellors, having librarians at every college, and exploiting precarious contract faculty and international students. They also don't want to deal with faculty burnout.
hopeful faculty "will put students first and proceed with interest arbitration."
OPSEU rejected the council's first proposal of interest arbitration and has not yet responded to a second. #studentsfirst
